If this table structure does not fit your design at all there can be work arounds. A good example of this is shown on http://www.far-sited.ca. Notice that index page upon load has a very simple look, no text, clean, crisp image. This is a good way to present your business with a simple entry page. If you scroll down page you will see that there is in fact a lot of text below this main image. With a simple 100% x 100% table you can achieve this affect on your website. This table will open same way in all resolutions giving your index page look of a text free page when in fact it is not.

100% x 100% table used as mentioned above:

If you choose to use 100% x 100% table noted above you should still try to stick to general table structure shown first for your internal pages. There can always be room for adjustments based on size of your site however most websites use left hand navigation and this table structure is based on left hand navigation. If your navigation is across top of your page, maybe reconsider it. It can remain at top, I have designed a few websites that are ranking well with this top navigation, but for best result, left hand navigation using table structure first mentioned in this article is best.

All in all I cannot stress enough that a well designed site will rank higher. Even if you do not have a complete SEO overhaul of your site this table structure will increase your rankings over those that do not have a clean, properly structured website. Though table structure is not noticed so much by visitors to your website aside from look of it, it is very noticed by spiders and they will go through your website based on it. For an added edge, have your site designed with this table structure, or do it yourself. Make a point of not only giving visitors to your website information you want them to have but also spiders and as quickly and easily as possible.

The real test comes now for organic search engine optimization firms as they set out to gain top rankings for their class action attorney clients. Interestingly, I've just finished reading John Grisham novel, "King of Torts", about a young "mass torts" attorney that made over an hundred million dollars by being first to run nationwide television ads seeking clients injured by a faulty drug manufactured by a giant pharmaceutical company. Although protaganist in story has a web site to collect leads, nothing is mentioned of PPC advertising nor is it likely to be discussed in novels.

In "King of Torts" nothing is ever mentioned about organic search engine ranking of his web site either. Settlement seems to have come faster than would be possible to gain top rankings for a highly competitive search phrase. It will be extremely interesting to watch domain name sales related to Vioxx, since keywords in domain names always help rankings. Some that are showing up in PPC ads include previously mentioned Vioxx-heart-attack.com, Vioxx-side-effects.com, Vioxx-Claim.com VioxxRecallLawyer.com and Vioxx-Lawsuits.com.

As of October 4th, 2004 only NON-news related site in top organic results at Google that are NOT online pharmacies, government agency sites, NIH (National Institutes of Health) or an information site http://arthritis.about.com/od/vioxx/ is a site that emphasizes giant class action lawsuits at http://www.bigclassaction.com/class_action/vioxx.html which has a PageRank of 5 as of October 4th at 5pm Pacific time.

The final ranked site of top 30 for single word "Vioxx" at Google is legal information site Findlaw in their class action section at http://injury.findlaw.com/vioxx/ which asks your zip code on first visit and must use IP delivery for robots visiting first time since there is nothing on that page about Vioxx if you've never visited page before.

Now we will see what techniques are used by Search Engine Optimization firms that hurriedly post sites full of links to gain search position for word Vioxx in order to sell more links to those agressive law firms and attorneys (and they'll run expensive click-through Google Adsense ads).

Without doubt, most SEO savvy attorneys will compete at a fever pitch for top rankings over next few weeks.
