AC7 and SEO

[Brewhaus]

We have been working on optimizing our site, and the keyword count in the main body section has be a bit puzzled. When running a comparison with other pages, ours shows a count considerably lower despite a 'visual' count that is at least as high. It seems that other sites are getting keywords counted in the exact same sections that we are not getting the keywords counted. I assume that this is due to the way that AC writes the page (one competitor, at least, I know the software that they use, and it is different). Has anyone else hit something similar? Is there a relatively easy way to get around this, and get these other words in our main panel (the FeaturedProducts grid) counted?

There is a method I have seen using tables, but I can't remember the references except in WebCEO and I don't know if it is in their public docs.
It is that you set up your display pages like this:
Normal
<table>
<tr><td>LeftNav</td><td>Center content</td></tr>
</table>

Revised
<table>
<tr><td>[nothing]><td rowspan="2">Center content</td></tr>
<tr><td >LeftNav</td><td>[Nothing]</td><tr>
</table>
That puts a blank cell then the main content in the first row.
Then the next row has the left nav content.

I don't think this would be hard to implement in Able where the css solution might not be possible.
