---- Externally linked .css and .js causes drop in traffic

>>>But many people do say that removing JS will increase your keyword ratio. If so, I guess it's possible that your ratio is now too high and you're being penalized slightly.

After reading all of these, I know most of you are firmly convinced that .js and css files are not "seen" i.e. indexed by Google. I think that this arguement is logical, and there is quite a bit of evidence to support it.

Unfortunately, my traffic is still down, and while I am reducing the amount of possible variables, I am not quite establishing a working hypothesis either.

If anyone has any other possible suggestions as to causation of my drop, please let me know. The changes made sitewide on my site effected the top 100 lines of code of every page on my site. It cut about 80 lines by externally linking. Is there somehow that proximity to the top of the code could possibly have an ADVERSE effect?

Still searching for answers...
