    I think article excerpts are great if they are placed on the home page and if you have a lot of content added to your site daily, if you only post once a week then perhaps not but if your posting at least one article a day then i would suggest using excerpts.

    Excerpt on the homepage is recommended.

    I use excerpts extensively. I use them in categories and archive templates too. Use them!

    AFAIK more tag also produces the same effect as excerpt..Am i right...?
    @NaIdz:U site is not SEO optimized there are no meta tags like meta description,tile for each post
    I strongly recommend u to use All in one SEO plugin
