Table Trick

Anyone know how to implement the table trick so that search engines read your "main content" before the nav bar.

Here is an simple explanation of it here

But where would i put the empty data cell on my Bluetooth website (in sig)? I'm so confused. I use Mambo CMS so their is a lot of code and i'm not quite sure i'm confident enough to manipulate it.

Can anyone help?

 

I don't think this really makes any difference.

 

I second that. The table "trick" is a waste of time.

 

thanks for clarification, i won't waste time figuring it out

 

I agree as well , waste of time

 

I think it is important to do this type of thing. Search engines favor text that appears earlier in the html.

I always use CSS to do this type of thing.

I'm not at all familiar with Mambo so I couldn't start to figure out how to do it with that particular CMS. You'd probably be better off going to a Mambo forum for that.

 

Dont agree, Do you have proof of that?

 

sundaybrew, do you have proof of all the seo tecniques you use? We don't know how the SE works, we suppose it and make experiments.

I heard of the table trick too, from Brad Callen and he knows what he is talking about.

 

Wow man , dont rip my head off . I was just asking sheeesh....

 

No, I don't have proof, but I've read it in several places. And, it just makes sense for a search engine to prioritize things at the top of the page.

 

Sounds great !

Thanx for your reply

 

Instead of using empty rows etc. , use CSS with float command.
Or CSs with absolute position commands.
td#nav{
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
width: 20%;
}
td#content{
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
width: 80%;
}

Bye
