SPAGHETTI WEBSITES
I've been going through my sites and automating them to death. These are sites that were built over a period of years, using all types of standards and code... I'm calling them the spaghetti websites...

I spent the better part of weeks standardizing all of my sites and getting all of the excess code out of them.!!

I figured out how to compact my HTML code. IE... get the same look with about 25% of HTML code. I figured that the search engines would like this much better because they don't have to comb through as much code and content to see the good stuff...

In compacting my code, I am starting to see my websites start coming back up in the search results. I am getting rewarded for cleaning my sites.

I think that is important to remember for every webmaster who's had a website for a while. You add this here, a picture there, some new bulletin board etc... Stuff all over the place.. And there is a tendency to lose consistency..

It may be a good time to go through your sites and see if you can clean up some code, get things lined up a little better. The your site is like SPAGHETTI CODE, the more google yahoo etc aren't going to like it.
