HTML lists with Google

[jsaund]

The bulk of the content I'm developing is best presented using HTML lists (e.g. <ul><li>...</li></ul>). I'm wondering if extensive use of the HTML list format will have a positive, deleterious or no effect on Google page ranking. Anyone have any experience or insight?

Hi
I've used lists for bullet-points on many of one of my sites pages and I've had no problems at all with Google generating sensible indexes and returning sensible results.
More than that, of course, it gives the visitor a nicely structured breakdown of the page's key points.

You normally have to style each individual item in the list, with something like:

<li><font face.. size.. color..>item here</font></li>

If you remove all of that HTML code into an external CSS style sheet instead, then you will also end up with a very much improved content to code ratio.

been using <ul> <ol> etc. for a while never noticed any problems they might have caused with googlebot or google ranking.
