Advantages of using CSS for SEO purposes

Search Engine Optimization (SEO), a keyword for anyone who owns a website. Many find it difficult to make their websites SEO friendly. How to tackle this problem? Simple…design your website using CSS to make it SEO friendly. Let me detail you on the benefits or the advantages of using CSS for SEO purposes.

1) Search engine spiders do not go through the entire HTML codes as they are lengthy, heavy-weighted and cumbersome. When using CSS, HTML codes will look cleaner and therefore, you can get better search engine rankings. Almost all search engines like light-weighted websites and it is best to use CSS for this purpose. Just put the main content above the header and I’m sure search engine spiders will look into it. This way you can make your website get better ranking.

An example to show how to design your website content to place at the top for easy access by search engine spiders:

Place in your header info here with a CSS link shown below

<html>
<head>
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”file.css” mce_href=”file.css” />
</head>
<body>
<div id=”content”>
<h1>Important keywords with header</h1>
<h2> Important Keywords with a sub-heading</h2>
<p>Place your content here along with important keywords.</p>
</div> <!—End of content–>

2) Websites with CSS codes are easily accessible, meaning, people who browse through handheld devices can also access your website without any trouble. Simply break up the style and markup, your website is now ready to be accessible by everyone.

3) As CSS uses light-weight codes, web pages gets loaded faster. This cannot be achieved when using table-based web pages.

4) Convert your HTML files to CSS as they are more simplified and will reduce the file size to anywhere between 25 – 50%.

5) You can make your website look more dynamic and striking with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). You may add borders to elements of your choice or give background colors, etc., to your website using CSS. This means that you get access to customized controls.

6) All major browsers support CSS and is the best way to avoid malicious viruses and pop-ups.

7) CSS can actually save time and money. Want to know how? Take for instance; you have designed your website in such a way that the header of each page is in green font and you wish to change them all to a color of your choice. It’s very simple to do with CSS. You just have to open an external file and change the header tag. Now, all the web pages with that header will change. It is that simple and easy.
