Website Marketing Tip: Semantic Web Page Layout
February 26th, 2010, Category: Website Marketing Tip
Start your website marketing efforts by laying good foundations – a properly ordered HTML structure should have the main content at the top of the web page, followed by your secondary content like your sidebars.
This will give greater emphasis to the information most relevant to the web page. Google knows that the content at the top of a web page is more likely to represent the page as a whole and its a good idea to make Googles life easier.

When it comes to SEO there are too many search engine friendly techniques that hinder and nicely designed site. This post does not explain that content can appear below non-seo friendly content by simply arranging your content with absolute positioning, structure should have the main content at the top but structure can be bent slightly with absolute positioning. Arrange the design/sidebars/ above the content with css and take control of your site.
