Is your Blog Readable?

I always value how my readers find my blog, be it negative or positive that is why whenever I post an article, I make sure it is well understood by my readers. So the question is, how readable is your blog? Do people understand your blog? If you write your articles with very complex words then people who will most likely subscribe to your blog would be adults and most probably highly educated (eg. online newspapers) but if you make it very simple and quite clear then you'll have a much more wider audience.

I always thought that having so much complex words in your blog is not very important as long as you can deliver your message very clearly and direct to the point.

I also think that when SEO Blogging, most searched keywords are very simple words like earn, money, investment, income, etc... So making your website or blog's article as simple and as clear as possible will very much likely earn you reputation to Google's search engine which is a great benefit to you in increasing traffic (visitors).

While browsing Adgitize's forum, I found an article that Ken Brown wrote. He found a website that actually reads and evaluates your site's readability. This is my blog's result.

This page has an average grade level of about 6.

It should be easily understood by 11 to 12 year olds.
