I have seen this code <ul id="utilitynav"> <li><a href="/sitemap.html" title="Site Map">Site Map</a> |</li> <li><a href="/contact" title="Contact">Contact</a> |</li> <li><a href="/login.html" title="Login">Login</a></li> </ul> Code (markup): the <ul>, <li> are customized by CSS, so when viewing in browser, it shows Site Map | Contact | Login why the <ul>, <li> are used there meanwhile we can do this <a href="/sitemap.html" title="Site Map">Site Map</a> | <a href="/contact" title="Contact">Contact</a> | <a href="/login.html" title="Login">Login</a> Code (markup): When inserting more code, the code to text ratio will be higher, but it should be as low as possible, is that correct? So, what's the point of <ul>, <li> code here?
<ul>, <li> code is used to arrange your sentences like.. * .................... *..................... *..................... if u want your content lines in such manner than it will be useful. but as u told u want this type of arrangement home | links | resources thanks u can use <a href="/sitemap.html" title="Site Map">Site Map</a> | <a href="/contact" title="Contact">Contact</a> | <a href="/login.html" title="Login">Login</a> this code.it will be more helpful to reduce your code.
that's why I have question. I dont know why they use code like that, is there any advantage in that case. Cause that samples I got from a recommended SEO company, I am thinking it should have some good points, that I dont know!
