the elements(css names, div names, script names...) in source code still affects SEO?

[didi]

Hi,

I do not follow the recent changes in SEO as well as before. That's why I'm asking these questions.

1) What are the affects of the elements(css, class,div names, script names, keywords in comments...) in source code to SEO?

2)I know that these have an impact on keyword density however , how much is the importantance of keyword density today?

3)As far as I understand SEO today turns to be link building , is this true? I know that Pr, and having lots of backlinks is very important for SEO however are there still some issues to take care like including scripts, css and choosing keyword oriented names for the elements in source code.

I hope I explained well what I mean

Thanks in advance for your

- Use external CSS
- Don't use keywords in "comment tags"
- Keywords are important
- backlinks are important for PR

Didi - where did this thread come from, you posted 4 days ago and no one answered til Beu, huh.

1. What do you mean by "affects"? keywords in comments are useless
2. Keyword density is still important; no magic formula though
3. Keyword-oriented names for elements (as in CSS?)? Haven't heard of that - Keyword oriented URLs, keyword oriented anchor text, alt tags, etc.; links are important.

like using keywords in css style names.
Ex:
<a href="cheap-flights-charters-morrocco.htm" class="cheap-flight-morroco">Cheap Flights Morrocco</a>

Oh ok - keywords in CSS class makes no difference for SEO. And if you create a CSS class for every "keyword", your CSS file would be huge - and slow your site down which is bad for SEO.

I use descriptive CSS class and div names because it's easier to remember and recall. But it's not for SEO.
