    Three words: HTML Source Order.

    In other words, turn off the CSS in your browser (if you can) and look at how the page is formatted. Assuming you aren't using tables for the blog's layout, what you see is pretty much what the search engines see.

    I use the search engine simulator - http://www.webconfs.com/search-engine-spider-simulator.php

    It does put the sidebar before the content. I stopped using the WP templates that put sidebar before the template. I actually like some of the templates that use left and right bar but for the reason mentioned above, I am not using it.

    btw, your example - molly.com has left and right sidebar and I checked this using the simlutor, the content comes before the left and right sidebar! I wonder how they did this??

    I don't know how Molly does it since I haven't looked at her source code in ages, but I use a combination of floats and negative margins.

    You can see an example here:

    You better use a very catchy title this time, I want you to spend more time on the thread title than the actual article! :D


    "Imagine spending 8 hours on a simple thread title" :confused:

    Tell you what. I plan on having some of the brightest minds in the SEO industry (including the ones I learned the trade from) review it for me before I post it. If you want, I'll send you a review copy. (This offer is valid only for ssandecki.)

    You know by now I can never turn down quality content; it wouldn't be my nature to do so. I'd be honored to give it my personal review. :)
