Unlocking the Benefits of Featured Images for Blog Posts
So, last night, I finally added featured images to all my blog posts. I really should have done it when I first published each post, but I always found myself short on time. I kept making excuses, telling myself that it wasn't urgent since my site was new and traffic was still light.
But then, I decided to ask ChatGPT about the benefits of having featured images. Here's what it said:
"While adding featured images alone may not directly affect your site's ranking, they can contribute to a better user experience, increased engagement, and improved click-through rates, all of which are essential factors in SEO. Therefore, it's recommended to use relevant, high-quality featured images that complement your content and enhance the overall user experience of your website or blog."
Now, I realize that even though it may not directly impact my site's ranking, having featured images can still make a big difference in how readers engage with my content. So, from now on, I'll prioritize adding them to my posts immediately.

Great! I agree. However, I’m still having trouble with duplicated images on several of my posts! Any cures?
I’ve added the CSS and followed WP articles, but still it’s happening.
Useful article btw. ChatGBT is so good!

Having a featured image can certainly make each post stand out more my friend and it only takes a minute or two to do, so why not?? :-)
Absolutely! Thank you.
You're most welcome my friend! :-)
