Google’s John Mueller is at it once more, saying that text-to-HTML ratios will not be a factor for search engine optimisation. He mentioned on Reddit, “It makes completely no sense in any respect for search engine optimisation,” and it’s 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 optimisation. Zero. Nada. Zilch. It was by no means a factor. You will notice extra of an impact for those who change the font or the textual content shade. In case you proceed to make use of it in your org, I will provide you with and your boss a really disenchanted look from afar. It is going to 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 mentioned code-to-text has by no means been an search engine optimisation issue and he mentioned that additionally in 2018. So no, this isn’t new however I figured I would cowl this once more since John was so passionate in his response on Reddit.
