Using DIV positioning for SEO

alstefani · #1 09-04-2005

Hi guys,
I made some changes on my homepage and I'm using absolute DIV positioning(not hidden) for seo. For example I have a form on the top and 2 parargaphs with about 200 words with my 2 main keywords in bold or H tag. Now I'm positioning the 2 paragraphs in a div like this: div.main {top: 760px;} but in ranking the div I have this one on the top and after that I have the div with the form like this:
div.form {top: 0px; height: 760px;}
And on the page I have:
<<body>...
<div class="main">paragraph1, paragraph2</div>
<div class="form">form etc...</div>

From the visitors point of view they see first the form and after the text, but SE sees text and then form.

Is this considered spam?

This is perfectly acceptable. It's good practice to get your real content at the top of the page.

Thanks for verifying that. Anybody else has any other comments?

Search engines don't parse much of the CSS at the moment. Use it or abuse it, it's your choice.

Looking at the complexity of CSS, I think it'll take some time until the SEs can parse it completely - it would mean a whole lot more processing power per page, i.e. to keep up with a growing number sites (all of the internet) + a growing percentage of CSS-based sites would mean a really large amount of available CPU power... I doubt they have this available at the moment (even Google or MSN), but you never know :-)
