Is HTML 5 web pages better ranked in Google?
Do you think HTML-based web pages get better ranks on Google Search? Do you think search engines favors HTML5?
Apparently not, Last week, in the last Google Hangout for Webmasters a similar question was being asked by someone, are there any SEO benefits for using HTML5?
John Mueller from Google (Webmaster Trends Analyst) said no! Yes HTML 5 is a really good way to develop a modern looking websites with modern functionalities but there is no way in which Google favors HTML5 when it comes to ranking websites.
I think keeping an impeccable clean code can actually help you rank better, just my opinion, I really do believe that having a clean code will make you website rank better, as in a ranking factor.
Remember Google reads your code and if he finds lots of dead ends and tons of useless code he will definitely mark you as website with “problems”.
What do you think? Does clean code matters or do you think any mess will do for Google?

We all know that website speed is a factor in the rankings, so why not code your website in a way that speeds up the load time if only for the smallest fraction of a second. You never know what it will take to overcome your competition in the rankings and it could all come down to cleaner code to get that coveted #1 spot in the SERPs (search engine results pages).
I'm not genius programmer or designer, many of the people here know that, but I do know a good amount about marketing and SEO
The code itself doesn't give you the boost in the SERPs. The load times of the pages being coded in HTML5 is what will help, if only a little bit. I've had plenty of websites coded in HTML and HTML5 and there isn't much of a difference unless you do some crazy A/B testing
And we all know that Google changes it's mind on certain aspects of a website when it comes to rankings. So stay ahead of the curve and play around with HTML5
