Is it bad to use template based model for site optimization?

[jitu78]

Hi All,

I want to use dreamweaver templates for globtier.com.

Is this could be bad for site optimization?

Is there any risk to loose page rank?

Some of SEO experts are suggesting to avoid template based model.

Let me know your thoughts on it.

Thanks
Jits

A well designed template will help keep style, structure and content apart. I have no experience of using dreamweaver ready made templates as I always build my sites from scratch.

A good template will aid for site optimisation. But you would need to use a good structured method likle includes (server includes/php includes)etc. That will help seperate the template from the content.

Page ranking should be fine if you follow protocol

SEO experts? Who are they?
