does font size effect search engine rankins?

Question

Does font size effect search engine rankings? I want to make a paragraph of text a bit smaller, so that it takes up less space. Will engines penalize me for this?

Answer 1

No, it should not affect your search engine ranking. When your page is indexed, the few words in your header will be given precedence.



Good luck!

Answer 2

No, the size of your text won't affect your rankings at the search engines. Spiders are very small creatures, they don't wear glasses and they can read small print!!



Your main heading should be H1 and others should (optimally) be H2 but this is a very tiny part of the Google algorithm which rates about 30 or 40 different factors on each page.



What your font size might affect is the stickiness of your audience - that is, the amount of time they 'stick' or stay once they find your page. If you make the font too small they might decide not to bother ...... so don't make it TOO small.

issues have replaced a wee bit. because of the fact that we now no longer place self belief in typewriters that gave us the alternative of 10 or 12, 11 has grow to be the greater suited. situations New Roman is giving thank you to Arial (the font type used right here at Y/A) because of the fact, as a sans-serif, it relatively is plenty greater relatively readable. Paragraph spacing relies upon on what you're doing, and who you're doing it for. For letters, single spacing or a million-a million/2 spacing. For comments, manuscripts, and so on., double spacing.

Answer 4

font size does not affect SE rankings or SE penalties. Hx header tags have some effect - but they don't make it or break it.

Answer 5

no... and contrary to popular belief, neither does semantic content (tho i expect this to change in the next few years)

Answer 6

not in the slightest, its all about key wording and links
