For SEO, Content is King.I wonder what would be the SEO cost of garbage text inserted between descriptive content.The case I have in mind concerns ascii art.Such page would contain consecutive blocks containing a description of the ascii art, followed by the ascii art itself.Example:<div class='asciiart'>  <div class='description'>here is an hideous kitty</div>  <div class='ascii'><pre>   (%(//    (6%(   /%7%CCGG66%%C   (%7%%G#QO%C%(  /%7%%%OOGC777%/   77(%G6C6GQ%(%/   C67%%776%7%%%    (O%OGQQ#GCC    (77%G6CGQG%(    7%%%%%GQ%%C%/   (%77%%GQ6%%%%(  /#O((%GQGGG%%7(   O%7%%%OOGC%%%%(  (%%77%CGQ@Q%%%(%%/ /C%766OQQ#OQG6C777%( 7%C7%%6GGQGQO6%%%%7%(7%77%OQ@Q#@#QC%((%%%/(7%7%%GG(%OQ#Q#QGC%77/ 7%77%6OOGQ@#%O6%(7%%/ /77%%6GQ@#QCOQGCO%%(   /(%C6G##@@QOO%%%/      ///(O@#@(/(/           /#@6/             (GG#/              /@@O               /@@6                Q@O        (      /O@O        @@6 /(QQ@@          (@@6@#</pre>  </div></div>or maybe worse, instead of <pre> element, the ascii art can be composed of consecutive <span> in <div> in order to set different colors to each part of the art.In both case, the page is full of textual data that are non-sense for a search engine.If this implies a negative impact on SEO, is there a way to tell the search engine to ignore these garbage parts?
