Three versions of your homepage in Google?

September 26th, 2006

A: If I have 3 versions of the middle of the homepage that is set to come up randomly every time the page is refreshed. Is that hurting my Google rankings?

A: It depends on what that rotated text says. If it’s not reinforcing the keyword theme that you are going after and it’s a big percentage of the text of your home page, then yes, it is hurting your rankings. I say this because it would be moving your page’s keyword focus away from the keyword you are targeting to something not as desirable.
