Does Google take a lot of notice of html and what a p class maybe called?

[Chammy]

Hi there

My client has p class="seoText” in his html

Do you think this is something to get cleaned up? How much note does Google make of HTML? Will Google read this and 'think hold on a minute' do you think ... ?

Its small I know but trying to capture any advantage we can at the moment - there are other bigger things we are working on!

Thanks

The larger question is what's inside that element? Google ignores semantics and markup. They want your content and if your content is spammy you'll suffer. But I've never heard of anyone suffering because they named a CSS class "SEO".

great that's what I hoped - we are dealing with what's inside it!

Thank you

Probably not a big deal, but since we don't know everything that the bots are looking at, if it is an easy fix I would consider just updating the CSS.
