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
I dont think so. This structure is poor for SEO as well accessibility. Though less tags are good for SEO but all tags are poorly manipulated. It seems be to mixture of CSS and table design.
Agree with Sajoo. I think the structure is poorly organized and CSS mixed with tables is a total mess. To make it easier i will point out the main mistakes: 1) using tables is outdated technic, not recommended for website structure these days... layers (divs) should be used instead 2) all css tags should be organized (in classes) in external file 3) there are many errors on validation page: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0 4) too many unnecessary HTML tags... less tags more content is the rule for seo 5) there is hidden content in CDATA tags, website could be penalized by google for any tricks like that 6) top text paragraph is yellow which is not readable on white background - another trick to cheat google? 7) the whole thing looks like written buy not a human but some kind of automated software such as Microsoft Frontpage etc... The guy who wrote this has no idea about HTML/CSS and about SEO for sure.
I already answered your question in the SEO board: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1127279
Some of the text is questionably hidden. Darken the text where it blends to pull out the text better. Use H1 tag for the topic of the page. The topic should als be in the title and description <title>Bournemouth Hotels | Luxury Spa Hotels in Christchurch Bournemouth Dorset UK</title> <meta name="description" content="Bournemouth Hotels in Christchurch has luxury spas. Etc...." /> <h1>Bournemouth Hotels</h1> <h2>Bournemouth Hotels in Christchurch<h2> content here all about the topic. Sub Topics should look like <h3>The Christchurch Harbour Hotel Offers:</h3> Also, get rid of that ridiculous looking page name and make it www.domainname.com/bournemouth-hotels.html Make the page user friendly. Increase the font size. highlight headings as mentioned and lose the crazy lloking dead space on the sides.
Google wont like the hidden ish yellow text on the top looks like keyword spamming (not intentional I’m sure) I’m taking that the URL is a test domain and not the actual site addy?
Just replace the hidden text to the footer and change its color. I think, this will sure affect your site.
