Thread: SEO Secret: Focus on Uniuqe Website Layouts.. not only Unique Content!

Did you Guys know that unique layout designs also very important for good rankings?!

Google likes unique websites but not only the content! Google also look what is inside these websites... they scan also your CSS Files.

And did you guys know that google launched 2012 a own algorhitm only for website layouts???

his algorithmic change does not affect sites who place ads above-the-fold to a normal degree, but affects sites that go much further to load the top of the page with ads to an excessive degree or that make it hard to find the actual original content on the page. This new algorithmic improvement tends to impact sites where there is only a small amount of visible content above-the-fold or relevant content is persistently pushed down by large blocks of ads.

So here is my Tip for you:

Keep working on uniqueness on your site, this mean try not to add unique content at all...

You also need to own an unique CSS Styles!!!

So its recommend to create unique website templates which have an unique CSS Style!!!

If you guys downloading any Free Wordpress Templates.. so you must be sure to change the CSS Styles of the Templates to make them unique...


For example:

Just change the CSS values of every div boxes etc

So if your sidebar looks like this:

Code:

.sidebar li {
    line-height: 1.5em;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0 0 0.25em;
}

then change the value for example to this:

Code:

.sidebar li {
    line-height: 1.3em;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0 0 0.21em;
}

If you guys follow my advice you will wonder how fast your site will rank better than before...
just keep this SEO Secret in your Mind... Good Luck!

well, as a blog reader enthusiast I really prefer to read heartfelt and informative contents.. and also.. I am fascinated in the art of web or graphic designs... but I also respect that not all of us share the same passion about these stuffs... some details are sometimes forgotten... even a humble visitor may notice if your website is not user-friendly and scary to click.. so save the simplest yet unique for the best...

Hmm I heard about this before but didn't bother about it since I used to have unique static sites. Now I'm moving to wordpress blog because easy to managed. Now what we can do about WP themes ?

If you download a free template.. then change all the CSS values.. as I in the example.. thats it
Cause many people will using free templates.. so try to make your template looking unique

Have you done this ? There must be 100's of CSS rules and values in WP themes. Problem is how do we change all of these ? How did you do it if you have had ?

if we buy premium template, are there to be sure we have unique template or just same free template,

did you mean, google does not just love unique content, but also liked the unique template?

Thanks, seobunny. One thing I do to make my design unique is put a keyword at the very top of the post or page between <h1> brackets. That is both unique and a way of drawing Google's attention to your keyword.

WTF?!: WEBSITES WITH RESPONISVE THEMES RANK BETTER!?!

Google has outlined they recommend using 1 responsively designed website over using 2 sites: 1 for desktop users and 1 for mobile users.

Google recommend configuration for best ranking...

Separate URLs and conditional markup from the same URL are accounted for but may not get your site ranked as well. Here’s why (from Google’s detailed explanation):

• Using a single URL for a piece of content makes it easier for your users to interact with, share, and link to your content, and a single URL for the content helps Google’s algorithms assign the indexing properties for the content.
  
• No redirection is needed for users to get to the device-optimized view, which reduces loading time. Also, user-agent-based redirection is error-prone and can degrade your site’s user experience (see “Pitfalls when detecting user-agents” section for details).
  
• Responsive web design saves resources for both your site and Google’s crawlers. For responsive web design pages, any Googlebot user-agents needs to crawl your pages once, as opposed to crawling multiple times with different user-agents, to retrieve your content. This improvement in crawling efficiency can indirectly help Google index more of the site’s contents and keep it appropriately fresh.
