        Hey there. Google doesn't care you're running WP, HTML, Joomla or a standard HTML site. It cares even less if something is in the main page or in the sidebar (as long as it's not a sidebar that's common on each page). If this sidebar is on each page the proposition changes a bit 🙂 Otherwise - long story short - it doesn't matter!

        Cheers!

          ok side bar is on every page, so in this case it should matter, better prob to move important content on main body

            In this case, yes. You shouldn't have content that would be deemed as "duplicate content" by google in your sidebar if it's a sitewide one.

            Cheers
