I need to rearrange how my html shows up.

[knights1]

My navbar's HTML is what the spider's are seeing first and I don't want that. Without having to move my whole site's navigation to the right side of the page, how do i have my navbar html lower but have the navbar in the same spot. Actually it is the whole left divider or column. If you need to see the site sticky me for the url

without really questioning your reasons or motivations to do this, I do wonder why exactly you want this? A lot of site's, including major ones, have their main navigation stuff in a column on the left side of the page and it doesn't seem to affect their ranking etc.

Sadly I dont know an answer. You could simply hide it from the search engines altogether though :)

If you have a table-based layout you could use the "table trick". Goes like this:

<table>
<tr valign="top">
<td></td>
<td rowspan="2">Content</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>navigation</td></tr></table>

if your site is CSS driven, you could absolute position your left column:

#content {
margin-left:200px;
}
#navigation {
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
width:200px;
}
<div id="content">content</div>
<div id="navigation">navigation</div>

But this is not PHP related. Better ask in the CSS forum [webmasterworld.com]..

This will also work, but I have no idea what the cross-browser support looks like.

CSS:

#body { direction: rtl; }
#body td { direction: ltr; }

HTML:

<table id="body"> 
<tr> 
<td>Content</td> 
<td>navigation</td>
</tr>
</table>
