good day everyone.. just wanna ask something.. what is CODE TO TEXT RATIO?.. is it important to SEO or not?.. i have read some articles about that.. according to them.. it is important because it calculates the relevancy of a site.. but some are saying that it has no direct influence.. what do you think about that.....
Code to text (content) ratio is the percentage of text you have compared to the amount of actual coding. The search engine (if they use this in there algo) will calculate the amount of code and compare it to the amount of text and that is where the percentage comes from. The higher the percentage of text, the better for on page optimization. Designing a site fully in CSS, putting your javascript in external files are two good ways to reduce the amount of coding on your website, thus giving you a higher percentage of actual text.
Thats absolutely true. Avoid adding unnecessary remarks and comments to your source code when you develop your website. Make the code as clean as possible. Avoid using <font> and other similar tags and use CSS styling instead. Move all your CSS Styles to a separate style sheet and also move your JavaScript code to external files as already mentioned above. These should help improve your Text to HTML ratio.
