  Gaming with carlotta: Im writing an article on page builders and I want to know from googles perspective do plugins like visual composer or xtheme or optimize press that write a lot of unnecessary code have a bearing on rankings, and the way that robots search. I need specific documentation or facts to put in my research paper a person from google or someone with vast knowledge in the seo community and than I need to know why the how so I can put that in my thesis.

  The cuetimes listed on this page are functional while the live broadcast continues and also once Youtube has finished processing the public broadcast. Processing time varies between 6-24 hours. During this period the clip is viewable in full but the cuetimes cannot be relied on.

  Gaming with carlotta: The person on this forum did not accurately answer my question and it is clear from the video response they really don't know a whole lot of seo. They did not take my question seriously as if it were humorous. Before giving advice on a subject try actually knowing about it. I for one have a vast knowledge of SEO and was looking for someone who had additional information.  ;I also find it amusing that they didnt even mention the new google algorithms, things like page speed and the sort dont waste your time with these people they are just trolls they have no knowledge or desire to assist.

  Jim Munro: Hi +Gaming with carlotta ;, googlebot is agnostic to platform or coding so that there is not a lot that can be offered in response to your question. I'll view the clip and add something to this.

  Jim Munro: Your question was taken seriously and it was adequately answered as far as I could see, +Gaming with carlotta ;. I am sorry that we have disappointed you. From my view of the clip, it seems to me that we did our best but you must understand that WP Plugin SEO is almost an oxymoron.

  Jim Munro: BTW Carlotta, you said "the person" but four different people provided a response to your question over a quarter of an hour. Are you sure you were looking at the correct clip?
