      Hello,

      Is is true that search engine give more value to some part of the page than other ?

      Is only the main content considered ? or are the other also given weight but very small weight ?

      If I have div in the main content as those considered par of the main content or no ?

      Thank you,

        Yes, Google's Document Ranking Based on Semantic Distance, and the recent Reasonable Surfer stuff all suggest that valuing links from content more highly than those in sidebars or footers can have net positive impacts on avoiding spam and manipulation

        You can have a div, or not, The

        tag is nothing more than a container unit that encapsulates other page elements and divides the HTML document into sections. Web developers useelements to group together HTML elements and apply CSS styles to many elements at once. I don't understand your question. Everything inside the body tag count as a content but even the header tags counts because your meta-description, your titles and canonical tags are located in the header, so from Google's perspective, they are relevant.
