    I have a jewelry website with almost all the pages sharing the same set
    of menus on the left. The menus are rather large, so with the header stuff
    and this menu, I am afraid all my pages are going to look almost identical, the first 50% of every page. My menu code is a html include and part of a table.
    Without changing the current layout, just for SEO purposes, I want the main
    content seen first, and somehow move down this menu to the bottom of the page. I dont want to change the current layout ... Anyone knows of any tricks ?

    Thanks a bunch..

    If you want to do SEO for your current website then I would suggest you to first convert your html-with table layout to xhtml/css-tableless layout as it is more search engine friendly. Just look around and you will see everybody is using it :)

    Well, that will be too much work right now.. I am looking for some tricks like import onload or something like that, so that my main content gets ahead of the menus... I am stuck with tables for now.
    Someone else sent me a pm asking me to put a bunch of <br>, which is not
    what I am looking for :)

    This would be alot easyer if you had used CSS instead of tables...
    I also see no reason why you should put it down? You could also just make the menu smaller.

    OK, CSS is an idea, eventhough I will have a steep learning curve
    to do that, if that will work. But I would prefer an easier way to
    move the code down. The reason for moving the menu down in
    visibility,as I have stated is because
    almost all my webpages will look identical top 50% of the page, and I
    am afraid my keyword prominence will be affected. I suspect this
    would be a common problem for a lot of websites which may use
    one standard template and a left menu for its products.
    http://www.whitefirejewelry.com/left_menu.html gets included in
    a table. May be I can just redesign that page ? Since I dont know css
    I am not sure how will that push down the visibility of the menu code.
    You can check out http://www.whitefirejewelry.com to see what I am
    talking about. Thanks a bunch for all your suggestions and I appreciate your
    time.
