Do you have lots of JavaScript coding in
header section of your web pages? Do you re-list your CSS styles at top of every page? Do you have JavaScript coding spread throughout your web pages?If you answered yes to any of these questions your site may be driving away search engine spiders and losing search engine position ranking.
As you can imagine search engine spiders have a lot of pages to get through on web when they are indexing sites. To improve their speed and efficiency search engines program their spiders to give up easily if they have problems with a page or if they have to wade through too much code to find relevant content.
This is one of reasons why it is so important to put your keywords as close to top of page as possible. This way search bot will see keywords before giving up and moving on to next page.
But what do you do if you have lots of JavaScript code or CSS styles pushing your keywords down page in your coding? You need to find a way to cut down on all that code that gets in way of search engines properly indexing your page.
We do this by moving JavaScript and CSS styles off page and into external files. This is a fairly easy and straight forward process and can have added benefit of making your pages load faster as well, which search engines also like.
In many ways CSS styles and JavaScript work in a similar fashion. You set up functions in a script or formatting in a style sheet section, and then refer to that section in your html code. For instance if you have a JavaScript that displays a clock on your page you would have JavaScript functions for clock listed in your head section, then you would simply call that function from place on page where clock would be displayed.
Similarly with CSS you set up your styles ahead of time in a Styles section of page head, then you simply refer to styles as needed in your html coding. One benefit of this is that it cuts down dramatically on amount of formatting code needed when compared to using Font tags.
If you want to use same JavaScript or CSS styles on a different page you could copy all that code onto new page. But this would cause two distinct problems, first you would be adding a lot of code to each page and second if you wanted to make a change to JavaScript or CSS styles you would need to do so on every page that code had been copied onto.
