We have all noticed how sometimes a blog post jumps to the top of the SERPs, only to fall in position seemingly in tandem to its position in the blog. Google likes <i>indexes</i>. It likes blogs for up-to-date information but seems to prefer "real websites" for real information.

If a user is interested in reading selected articles or the ones he is interested to have knowledge, then the excerpts will help him ease his job sorting out the needed in a single look. I have seen many blogs with 10-15 posts on a main page. I personally think that the ratio of posts should be low and your matter and page visibility and easiness should enable a user to feel interested in clicking for other similar posts.
