Templates, Editable Regions & site crawlers |

My site isn't being crawled the way I intended, so I am looking for some help.
What I have done is built a site using a template, that has 2 main editable
regions.
First I have my logo and nav bar running across the top of the page and
underneath I have a 2 column table that holds Editable regions.The first column
on the left holds editable region 2 and the other holds editable region 1.
Backwards, I know, but I thought it would fix my troubles, ha ha.
The first column -editable region 2, displays information such as upcoming
events, locations, links and feature items. The second column holds region 1
and displays the important info for the site. The information I need crawlers
to see first.
The problem is that when the site is crawled it pulls info only from region 2,
the first column. Without changing the entire layout, is there a way for me to
make the crawlers skip region 2 altogether?
Hope this made some sense..
Thanks
Kimber

I don't know a way to prevent a spider from reading a section of your page.
I think it might be better to encourage them to focus on the desired area by
using sematic markup in that area, e.g., <h1, h2, h3> tags, and lots of alt
attributes, title attributes and keyword rich comments.
Template regions themselves cannnot influence page spidering.
