I too almost always leave a blog if it doesn't look appealing, even if their content is well written and interesting. Fonts are a big issue for me too - if anything is written in Times New Roman I will not read it :| Some fantastic points here.

The related posts plugins that I've found don't seem to work very well with ALL themes. It's definitely a coding issue, and you may want to consider hiring the resident coding guru at OMG - Ben Cope. Send me an email and I'll put you in touch. Come to think of it, I'll have to get in touch with him about that one too :) Wahm - I’ve seen this happen before with themes that I’ve used (this being one of them).

One more very important variable to consider is the blog's main page presentation. e.g.: If you present only a summary instead of full articles, your bounce rate will be much lower than a blog with full articles, because visitors would be required to click through in order to read the whole article. Cheers, Alex. Nice article, Bryan!

The one thing that stuck with me in reference to this, was to NOT use links anywhere near the top of your posts. So i stopped doing this immediately, because it means you're sending away visitors before they even get a chance to check your post out. Anyone reading this, try it, its simple but good advice.
