How CSS Can Improve Your Search Engine Optimization
CSS can be useful in building your website because it increases your code to text ratio. Code to text ratio is the amount of HTML code used to design your website versus the actual text on the page that site visitors see when they visit your web page. For instance, if you are still using tables then you might have a table that uses a lot of code, depending on how big the table is, but you can reduce that code with a CSS file. CSS stands for cascading style sheet. You create a CSS file in Notepad. Or you can do it in your text editor. Either way, you need to figure what elements you want to include in your CSS file.

Search Engine Optimization Or Page Rank – You Decide
What is more important, search engine optimization or Page Rank? Can they be separated? After a careful analysis of several web site pages I believe they can be separated and that one is more important than the other. However, look at some of the factors and you decide.

Search Engine Optimization And The Ponce
Definition: [source - Wikipedia] A British slang term for a dandy, fop or pimp or weirdo (A strange or unusual person). A British slang term for someone who does not pay their own way. A British (verb) slang term for someone getting others to pay their own way, to ponce. After looking at that definition, I think it is safe to assume that we have all come across individuals from all three when it comes to search engine optimization experts. The term weirdo comes to mind when I read some articles on search engine optimization or anything related to optimizing web pages. The term expert is too loosely bandied about these days with every Tom, Dick and yes, Mary, claiming to be an expert. Read one paragraph from CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
