If you didn’t know, Google spiders read your webpage from top left to bottom right, just like a human being would read it. That’s why SEO practitioners recommend having your main keyword in the first sentence of your website content. But you might have a problem doing that with some site and blog designs, which have a left hand column containing navigational links.
Well, there’s something you can do about that, and you should, because Google will absolutely read the text content of those links before it reaches the main body of your site, where all the keywords are prominently positioned, if you’ve followed the advice we at Cataweb Online S.L. have given you. And what you can do is this: create a blank column above your navigational column on the left-hand side.
What happens there is Google will read that blank column first, and seeing that it’s empty, will proceed to the next area to read, which will be the main body of the site, before it goes back to the left side to read the navigational columns! It’s a quick and easy fix to do, instead of totally redesigning your site, and it will help improve your ranking. Be aware though, that all these onpage optimizations are mostly tweaks to your SEO, but aren’t as effective as other techniques, most of which you will do offsite.
Still, every little bit counts, as we like to believe at Cataweb Online S.L., and so before going on to mastering other more advanced SEO techniques and theories, you can take care of the basics while building your site.
