Question

SEO issue red characters

Hi all

I’m building webstes using dreamweaver, but when I look at the source code it is red for " characters. I’m told anything appearing in red puts off Google’s seo. Does anyone know why this appears in red?

For example when I view code source on the site i get the gt; in red

<a href="miss-sold-mortgages.html" class="darkblue">Find out more&gt;&gt;</a></span>
                </div>

Thanks for your help

Regards

No. Just no. Google’s SEO works on a text-basis, it ignores any colouring or formatting within a page.

The colour of the text in the source code is simply based on DreamWeaver’s syntax highlighting – if you run and view your page in a browser, it shouldn’t be this colour (assuming you aren’t actually setting the colour of this to red).
