Make your website more readable for Google

Click on this link to see a snapshot of this website as Google see’s it. (its called the Google Cache)

The main point here is that the main text of the page actually appears at the top of the page. Usually Google has to hunt through the header and menu links before it gets to see the real content of your page, and that can damage your rankings.

This is accomplished by using CSS on the Div’s of the page. If this is all gobbledegook to you, just ask your web developer if they could place the “div” tag for the header at the bottom of the page. But then create a central cascading style sheet and position the header ‘Absolutely’ at the top of your page.

This little trick will mean that Google can read your content first before all the links and pictures in your header.
