I have a suggestion: instead of 'read more' or any custom text, lets make it more SEO friendly by adding tokens, e.g. "Read [node-title-raw] >". The result could be:

Read Ecommerce Law >
Read International Business of the [...] > (trimmed)
Read Your Momma >
etc.

I was told "Read more" links are a SEO killer. So I usually link with full titles, so I get more hits from Google.

Thanks for taking tokens into consideration. Its just an idea, maybe it doesnt fit your module.

Title: Read [node-title] - let's use tokens! » Use tokens such as [node-title] for Read More links and link attributes
Version: 6.x-3.0 » 6.x-5.x-dev

Version 6.x-5.x-RC1 (and -dev) includes some major changes in SEO behavior. For example, the title="" attribute in the link includes the node title.

I'm switching the version to 6.x-5.x-dev in the hopes that someone can help integrate tokens. I think this is a great idea, but I don't have much experience working with tokens myself.

Here's a patch that does it. Just tested it for a client and it works nicely, degrades cleanly if token isn't installed.
