Clean Code Will Improve Your Rankings

Clean html code throughout your web site is one of the most important steps toward improving your rankings with the search engines.

Broken links, extraneous code, unvalid html — all of these will increase the likelihood that your web site will fall down the rankings with the major search engines.

And just because your web site looks clean on the OUTSIDE (within the browser window) doesn’t mean that it is clean on the INSIDE.

Dreamweaver offers a validator and other tools that allow you to test the code on your pages, searching for broken links, invalid code and just plain messiness.

Google Analytics and Google tracking also offer tools that help you locate those problem areas and fix them.

Simply use these tools to scan the pages of your web site, and these tools will locate the problems by indicating the line number, and how far from the left margin the offending code resides. They will also recommend actions you can take to fix the problems.

Remember, a clean web site is a POPULAR web site!

    You are able to use Dreamweaver but i’d advice ahead of jumping at Dreamweaver seek to learn html and css that will ease all kinds of things.
