Re: Different Colour Productions

Mike, I agree with Linda. Inline CSS can have an affect in SEO. Why do you think liquid layouts (CSS) are important and better than tables in SEO? Because they use less code. You are oh so wrong in assuming the Google spider is patient.

1. SE spiders will stop crawling a website (and come back some other time to finish the job) if...
- spider can't parse content (ie.: code errors)
- pages take long to load
- pages are too big

2. Keyword density is absolutely everything. SEs consider text/code ratios, link/text ratios, keyword density and keyword prominence in every individual 'chunk' of a page/website: phrases, paragraphs, divs/cells, body, head, the entire page, the local neighbourhood (ie.: all pages within in folder) and the website as a whole. Having inline CSS increases the size of your page, thus diminishing the density of your keywords.
- more code = less keyword density
- less code = more keyword density
- minimal code = optimum keyword density

As for the review of this website, you MUST hand-code your next version. There are so many obvious errors, I can only assume it's the result of the poor use of a WYSIWYG editor. As Linda mentioned, your H1 tags (which just happens to be the most important tag on any page is abused and misused.

The design and appearance is great, the code is poor............
