Back to basics?

Hi and thank you for having me.

I was wondering if there would be any benefit to the search engines for a website to be ONLY html and a style sheet? Where all affiliate links contain no scripts and a simple <a href. Where the contact is not a form and is simply the email address <mail to.

The reason I ask is because it seems like the crappiest and ugliest looking basic HTML sites appear to be high on search results, and I have noticed WP and BLOGGER, etc., are basically nil on first page searches unless they are definitive.

So, instead of these dull same old same old WP sites, would a site with html categories, content, and so forth make Google happier than the plethora of blog type sites? I mean, not using the power of php wouldn't necessarily be that tedious.

Essentially I am wondering if html only sites effect seo in any way? Thank you.

Hollie

    No more differences between using php and html. If pages creating with html ranking higher than Php then I sure that here more people will only make website with html without using database for it

      Do you think that search algorithms and web evaluators are possibly frowning on user ready CMS platforms because of the past bursts of useless sites? I ask because to even get into a position to be evaluated in popular search terms, there is a system to pass through before it even gets to an actual human being able to rank the site.
