Google’s John Mueller is at it once more, saying that text-to-HTML ratios should not a factor for search engine marketing. He stated on Reddit, “It makes completely no sense in any respect for search engine marketing,” and it is best to “ignore any report that provides you a textual content:html ratio.”
John wrote, “Please, ignore any report that provides you a textual content:html ratio. It makes completely no sense in any respect for search engine marketing. Zero. Nada. Zilch. It was by no means a factor. You will note extra of an impact if you happen to change the font or the textual content coloration. For those who proceed to make use of it in your org, I gives you and your boss a really upset look from afar. It will likely be embarassing for everybody concerned.”
So yea, he actually went off on the entire text-to-HTML factor once more. A yr in the past, John stated code-to-text has by no means been an search engine marketing issue and he stated that additionally in 2018. So no, this isn’t new however I figured I might cowl this once more since John was so passionate in his response on Reddit.
