      Hi,

      Do you think that texts that are written inside the file's source code get more attention / more credit from Google than texts that are brought from the DB?

      Thanks

        Personally i never thought of this but logically there shouldn’t be any preference in it...i think if there is a lot of text available on the page then the page that load quicker will have more preference over the one that take more time than normal in loading the page.

        Why shouldn’t be any difference is because either way you are helping user to get more information about the page and subject so it’s doesn’t matter that the text is available as hard coded or coming from the data base until there is no problem in indexing the content and page load time.

          I can't see that there would be any difference.  Google's looking at the final page that was rendered, so if the page is rendered via code or via database I would think it would be the same.

            Moosa and Marie are both correct, there is no difference between hard-coded text and text rendered from data retrieved from a database.
