SEO optimised CSS style sheet? how come?

[sm911]

Today I heard that if we use our seo targeted "keywords" in our style.css (css file) in place of

#headermorePan...
#bodyPan p
#footerPan

this makes much better in terms of SEO... Is this true? What's your thoughts?

For instance if we have a seo website and our keyword is seo, according to this method I should use

#seo header
#seo body
#seo footer

and etc. What do you think?

----------------------------------------------------------

My second question is:

Suppose that you have a very well designed SEO compatible xhtml css template for your seo projects. Can we use the same template for all these different seo website projects?

The content will be totally different but the websites look the same including the style css sheets will be the same. Is this a problem in terms of duplicate website penalty?

Is this something dangerous for SEO? If it is, what would be the solution to overcome this? For instance if we rename the codes inside the style css, can it be the solution?

Just share your thoughts and experience if exists. Thanks.

Google and other Search Engines uses algorithms to determine the best quality and most relevant results to return.

Why would they look at css classes and ids to do this instead of things like page titles and headings?

Answer: They wouldn't.

You have to apply a heavy filter to SEO advice as there are so many people out there that either don't understand the basic principles or just plain make things up based on speculation with no evidence. I think this is a case of both.

Also, trying to use IDs or classes with a space will not work.

Your second question(s):

1. For what reason would you not be able to do this?

2. Search engines can't see anything except the text content

3. As long as content is different there will not be a problem. Be careful of duplicated menu items and things like that though (eg, all the sites having the same text and ordering in menus).
