Hi Michael,
Less whitespace is always a good thing, but it's not really a big
issue for search engines. The code to content ratio (ie, efficiency
of html) is more of an issue, as is getting the relevant keyword-rich
content as close to the top of the page as possible. I guess what I'm
trying to
Why not just enable HTTP compression on the web server?

it will make the page smaller
It will surely do, but may be not as much as one could think.
When one look at the source code of a page, one can be amazed by the percentage of white space,
sometimes it looks like 50% of the page is white space.
However the white space is mostly caused by tabs
Didn't think of those. Thanks.

Actually, it counts heavily on coding style. I like lots of space, indents
and the like in my code. You read my code and it's beautiful. This does add
extra material to the html source. Just look at an average archive page (go
to the link at bottom) and you'll see extra space.

Sure, it helps for readibility, but what I mean is that it does not take as many characters as the apparent space they generate.

http compression on a dynamic page? Yes, it'll make the stream faster but
the actual content is the same. Even with white space management turned
on,

Oh. I glossed over the SEO aspect. I don't recall anything about better
placement because of a single line. Erika would probably know though.

I'm giving a presentation on RegEx this Wed. and one of the things
I'll be showing is a tight little piece of code that will compress a
webpage by removing all 'extra' spaces (and tabs, new lines, etc.)
from all places other than script and pre tags. I'm under the
