Free three column website templates for SEO
POST UNDER :Search Engine Optimization
Just a short blog post today regarding two different three column website templates you can try out for free on your own website.
Those who have visited my site recently will have noticed quite a change in my website design – my old website sucked frankly, and I was always aware of this!
So I decided to find some better layouts for the site, and started to check out various three column websites styles that would not only improve the look of the website but also be beneficial in terms of SEO.
I now describe both of my chosen three column website templates for you below.
I did not create either, but I am currently running both on the Yearn2earncash.com website, and I am very happy with the results.
The Perfect 3 Column Liquid Layout SEO friendly website template by Matthew James Taylor is the first one I really do recommend, and I am using it on most of my pages.
It puts your most important content (the middle column) first in the source code, giving the search engine robots exactly what they want quickly. This is very important for SEO.
Your side columns in which I place my links and adverts are then placed as left column second in the source code and right column third in the source code.
My only slight qualm with this template is that I found it harder to change the sizes of the two side columns, and unless you really know what you are doing (I usually don’t!) you might also struggle to do the same.
Changing the colours of the columns and other such things like changing the ways links behave was quite easy – as I said above the only trouble I encountered was altering the column sizes.
That was why I looked for a second Three Columns Layout template for those pages that needed a little extra tweaking, and I finally settled on Dynamic Drives CSS Liquid Layout #3.3- (Fluid-Fluid-Fluid) Three Columns Layouts which was the seventh one down in the list, as this was much easier to edit when needing to change column widths.
The only drawback with this second three column template was that it was so basic – as I wanted it to match the other pages on my site generated through the first three column template, I had to manually add all the coding changes to it that the first one offered.
As I said above adding and altering code has never been my strong point, and that will be unlikely to change any time soon!
Now which one is best? That’s a question everyone wants answering – but I cannot give a straight easy answer here.
I love the first three column template for the style it gives, yet I love the second three column template for the ease of editing provided.
If you are anything like me then perhaps you might want to stick to the easy second three column template, but if you feel that you can handle the extra effort of editing a bit more code then go ahead and check out Matthews three column template.
(It is too soon yet to state which would be better for SEO, but I do have a sneaky suspicion that Matthew’s template has a little more going for it!)
