Bloated Code for Better SEO

Are you feeling fat and over weight?  Do you say I am a 24 and want to be a number 1?  Do you feel bloated and out dated?  Then simply slim down and have the search results you want!  That’s right! reduce your code bloat and get better search engine rankings.

You can help your search engine ranking by reducing code bloat.  Code Bloat is excess programming code in your website.  Search engines filter through your website content including programming code to find relevant content.  By reducing code your website content becomes more relevant and easier to index.  To find out how fat your website is just look at the programming.  Go to your website and right click View Page Source.  You don’t have to be a programmer to find out how fat your site is.  Look for content that is on your site and if you have a hard time finding it or it takes to long then you are probably bloated.  Although this is a smaller (SEO) issue, reducing code bloat will help with your page rank and load time.
