If you have constructed your web pages by using one large table for your pages, (then shame on you – learn CSS), you can still show the search engine spiders your content first, instead of the navigation panel instead everytime.
The table trick employs a 2-by-2 table with an empty first cell, and then using a second cell with a rowspan set to 2, then you place the navigation in the second row ‘under’ the empty first cell.
Below maybe your standard table setup.
Navigation | Content |
Now turn this into:
Content | |
Navigation |
This means your content can be viewed first by the search engines, but your navigation will still stay in the same place.
