Getting home page content at top of what robots see
-
When I click on the text-only cache of
nlpca(dot)com
on the home page
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:UIJER7OJFzYJ:www.nlpca.com/&hl=en&gl=us&strip=1
our H1 and body content are at the very bottom.
How do we get the h1 and content at the top of what the robots see?
Thanks!

For design purposes I never used it. Maybe a few times. Only for SEO I've really used it.
The code that you don't care about Google seeing first is what you put down on the bottom and absolute position it to the top so the website still looks the same.

Brent, I used to be a web designer. I was always told that absolute positioning was usually bad.
Also, is the code at the top that's seen first or is it the data that's absolutely positioned at the top?
-
Absolute Positioning will allow you to create a div at the bottom of the page, but display it at the top using css.
for example to have div2 display about div1, it would look like this in the code.
Google sees first.
People see firstcss code:
#div1 {width:900px;height:500px}
#div2 {position:absolute;top:-15px;width:900px;height:100px}I know it's not a very good example of code, but you should get the idea enough to start testing your layout. Also, go ahead and use this for testing. http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_position_absolute

That's OK Brent. I hope you enjoyed Mexico.
Yes, please explain more.

Sorry for the delay, I was in Mexico on vacation.
Did you get your answer or would you like me to explain more?
-
Could you say more Brent, I thought absolute positioning was something to stay away from from a CSS perspective. I'm open to your idea, I just need to know more.
-
Use absolute positioning to arrange the content in the order you want Search Engines to see first.

Hi there,
It will be due to the way theHTML is written. You will have to alter the HTML to reach your desired outcome. I think the HTML is rendered in the order that it appears on the page e.g. from top to bottom.
You have lots of menu options and these are listed first in the html page.
I also recommend a general review of things as your title is not appearing in the cached page either. Perhaps its because you are specifying it here as well:
name="title" content="NLP Training, Courses, Certification | NLP Institute of California" />
Hope this helps.
All the best!

Why I am a seeing an error for duplicate content for any categories and tags on my Wordpress blog?
When I look under "Crawl Diagnostics" I see I have 12 errors for duplicate content and there are all from tags and categories. I am assuming that search engines are reading the content in the tags and categories as duplicate. Should I set my categories to "no-index?"

What's the best way to eliminate duplicate page content caused by blog archives?
I (obviously) can't delete the archived pages regardless of how much traffic they do/don't receive. Would you recommend a meta robot or robot.txt file? I'm not sure I'll have access to the root directory so I could be stuck with utilizing a meta robot, correct? Any other suggestions to alleviate this pesky duplicate page content issue?
