"Keeping" your ranks

    Hi everybody,

    I am currently dominating the search engines for one huge keyword (frontpage) and have literally beaten every other site. I am considering re-doing my layout because it's getting old and boring and I was just wondering how much will "changing my layout" affect my rankings? What are the big no no's in redoing your layout so that you can maintain your rankings? The content itself will not change, just the style.

    I'm just kind of being cautious... you never know what the big G will do if you change something!

    My layouts are done in entirely CSS and nothing else.

    Thank you in advanced

    Changing your layout but keeping your content in tact should theoretically have no impact on your rankings whatsoever

    Nothing should affect your position in SERPs then unless you spam via CSS.

    Just for normal coding for layout, tables, and fonts, it doesn't affect your ranking at all.

    Especially if you're CSS-based...you should be good to go. :)

    Just as they said, keep your content in tact and you should be fine. :)
