Optimizing Your Main Text With Tables
By Submit Corner
Tell a Friend About This Page
Overview: Make sure search engines will index your main
body of your web pages first with this indexing technique.
Most web designers when creating a table to store the contents of their web pages will
use multiple columns. Most typically, designers use a side bar on the left hand side
followed by the main body of their text, or some similar derivation. An example of the
most typical design is shown below:
Typical Design Style:
The problem here however, is that when search engines read your website, they index
your content on a first-come-first-serve basis. Unfortunelty, your side bar is the
content that is served first. Ideally, you would like to present to search engines
your Main Body first. Below, we tell you how to do just that with a minor tweak which
will not affect your design layout.
Optimized Design Style:
|
Main Body (uses rowspan=2)
|
|
Side Bar
|
With this minor tweak, your Main Body is presented first and your presentation style will
be unaffected. The additional box that was created can become hidden by using a background
color that matches your page background thereby creating the same design affect as in the
first example but still pushing your content first. The heart of this optimization lies in
the "rowspan=2" property which defines across how many rows the current cell should span.
The source code for how each table was created is shown below for your convenience.

Optimized Design Style (Second Example):
Feel free to copy the above HTML code sniplets and trying out different
derivations to suit your needs.
