I mean, HTML5 contains nav, header and footer tags may help to search engines understand where is a main content

Good article!
But I think, it will be changed when HTML5 will be sufficiently common technology. Because HTML5 contains , and that can help to search engines understand where is a primary content and where is a secondary.

Thanks for the great article, i am a beginner and know basic features of html and css and want that you plz write a detailed article on how to make an seo template with css ?

I want to call header, footer, right and left sidebars from a file i mean i wanna use include function for all these page elements from seperate files so when i make changes in header file then it will be changed on whole site, so if i call all page elements excluding main content then will it put any wrong effect on SEO?

I appologize for my bad english but hope you understand what i wanna say.

No, there’s no javascript required for this.
I’ve shown a full html example in the article.

Actually this page implements this: look in the code and you’ll see that “left_col” comes before “right_col” and inside “left_col” you’ll see that “post_content_wrapper” (the main content) comes before “post_meta” (which is the left sidebar).

Of course, I didn’t do the header positioning part because, as you can see, my header has very little content and I didn’t bother with it.

Is there some javascript required to do this… I can’t seem to make it work…

Can you provide an example html?

I notice that this page does not implement this advice… why is that?

Thanks!

when you say wrap around the right sidebar you mean the content should be on the left and flow bellow the right sidebar? so the right sidebar will look like a right floated block inside the content?

This is a great explanation of how the organization of your content can affect search engine results. I’m trying to do something similar where the main content would actually wrap around the right sidebar. But I can’t get it to wrap with out have this right sidebar located above the main content, using a right float. Any thoughts?
