Is Learning How To Use HTML Code Important?
I often get asked whether it’s necessary to learn how to use html code, and my answer is always “If you want to profit from websites of your own, Yes!”
The one important point about html code when it comes to search engine optimization is to make sure the coding on your web pages is correct and will validate properly. If your html coding is correct, the search engines will have no problem spidering your site, which is important for both indexing and subsequent ranking…
Another point worth considering is that webpage generators like FrontPage add tons of extra unnecessary html code which buries your article! It also makes you page size bigger and so it takes longer to load.
Anybody can learn how to create a webpage using html code, if you can write, you can code. All you have to remember is the structure of an html page. Don’t get scared off by php pages. There might be a bit of extra processing code, but a php page still uses normal html to display the contents of a webpage.
If you have some html knowledge, modifying templates becomes a breeze. Even the php pages from pre-made Adsense websites like my NicheSiteProfits websites, or the NicheMania websites of Big Mike.
The point is - if you know the basics of html coding you can make changes to your sites immediately. You don’t have to wait for other people and if you pay people to make the changes, you save money too.
