I have a question for all the SEO EXPERTS.

As we all know, web pages trying to get ranked shouldn't be larger then 100k, or at least the relevant text and links should be above the 100k limit.

With that said, does anyone have any suggestions as to how one might be able to reduce page size wiithout compramising the look of the site?

Cheers

Design.

Design small pages that look good, accomplish what you want and that load fast on dial-up.

BTW, I ain't no SEO Expert. I just have a lot of opinions. :)

Use external files for CSS and JS wherever possible is one of the various ways to optimize page size. Also try to avoid multiple embedded tables if you are using tables for layout.

If you place your images in your CSS does that effect that actual size of the webpage?

Hi critter,

It makes no difference whether you refer to your images in the HTML file or CSS. Images have no affect on file size with regards to SEs. Sure, your pages will load slower in a browser if you refer to a lot of big images but it is the HTML file that the search engines cache. Keep those HTML files as small as possible using the above mentioned techniques.

Best,
