Since code vs text ratio is one of the many things Google looks at, I believe it is best to keep the code to a minimum. I think 300 – 400 words per page is great.  Look at your code or view source. If it seems like there is more code than text, try your best to remove as much code as possible.

This is one reason to use and understand CSS. CSS reduces the amount of code markup so that you have more text then code . It’s easier for Googlebots to understand the content hierarchy and is good for  SEO.
