We all know that making website modifications can affect your rankings however John has stated quite a few instances earlier than, simply making coloration modifications mustn’t affect your rankings.

In fact, should you transfer content material round, cover content material or one thing else with CSS, that may affect your rankings. This not simply applies to the physique content material but additionally the primary navigation and structure.

Heck, I alter the general design of this website on some necessary days. These varieties of modifications ought to have zero affect on the general rankings of this website. In the event that they do, so bit it, I like making it enjoyable right here. However I extremely doubt they do have any affect on rankings by me altering the background colours and tweaking the design of the emblem.
