    I would like someone to look at the source code for a simple article, adsense on the side and of course the design,header, and footer. IS there a reason why its
    A. SO long
    B. Is this ok for Spiders?
    C. Is there anything wrong with it?

    I use FCK editor to update my pages for content. The total characters for this source is like 47K. This doesnt make sense to me.


    Please Just View Source

    One thing I see already, it is text which was in MS word that was copied into the site. There for all the <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span>
    Best thing to do is when you have the content in word is to copy it first in Notepad and select and copy it again to the FCKeditor and paste it. It will take out all the formating from Word. Word inserts a lot of extra "unneeded" html code.

    Another thing what I dont understand, why so much blank lines??? Remove them.

    Give the level of knowledge you have with HTML I would strongly suggest getting a WYSIWYG editor.

    I dont think that will affect your indexing. It is just a matter to have clean html code. It will load faster too.

    Thanks Island. Im copying articles from word into a WYSIWYG editor. Im not cleaning the code before hand. This is my problem? Do you think it has to do with my hosting the spacing?

    Why you use a WYSIWYG editor ? WYSIWYG editors generate a lot of not necessary code.
    Learn html/css and you will have a clean code and the content loading faster.

    If your acticles are saved in Word you can open then and then Save As - Plain Text. This will remove the formatting and makes it easier to cut and paste in my opinion.

    What I do to if I have to copy text from word into a online text editor, is have notepad open and past first the text into notepad, so select all copy from notepad and past it into the online text editor. All formating is gone, you just have to fix it up in the text editor regarding the formating
