HI there! I have small request for check application for Google seo. I done structure for client using DIV - i was thinking that this is best way. Client sent me following html to replace my structures: http://79.96.3.66/test/CHHtemplate.htm I just want to make sure that this structure what I receive is really good thing for Google Seo. Thank you for any help. Seb
In a nutshell, no. Not only is the structure on that page not optimized for the search engines, it is also going to render the Web page inaccessible to millions of potential customers - especially those who will try to use the Web site from their cell phones and PDAs. The code also lacks a clear and defining heading structure (the sole H1 heading is not going to be enough) and as always the tabular layout is going to lock your client into the design rather than being easy to change or modify with a semantic markup/CSS combination. If your client really wants to proceed with this train wreck of a template, tell him/her that the template will not rank as high as it could otherwise in the major search engines, will prevent millions of potential customers from being able to access or use the Web site (which is a violation of UK law and carries stiff penalties and fines), and won't even stand a snowball's chance in Hell (and I don't mean Hell, Michigan) of ranking in mobile search, which happens to be the preferred method of searching for those using Web-capable mobile phones (including the iPhone and G1) and PDAs. (PS: I'm also seeing what could be interpreted by the search engines as an attempt to cloak or othewise "hide" content from the people who will be using the Web site while still making it stick out like a sore thumb to Google and its competitors. If they do reach the same conclusion - and I'm sure they will - chances are very good that the site will either be penalized or removed from their respective datbases meaning there will be no search traffic whatsoever coming to the Web site.)
A lot of javascript being used to show menus. Are you sure you want to keep the header and footer? You said you have used divs, but I see a tabular structure.
