I have a site with a normal image header, a menu,
then below that an adsense leaderboard, and then the content below that.

The problem is that google instant previews, capture the adsense text and hightlights it (puts it in a box) at google instant previews of my pages.
I really don't like the ad text be emphasized as the most important of my previews.
Maybe google preview bot is doing that because adsense text is on the top.

How I could either make instant preview ignore adsense text, or somehow reposition the adsense div with css, so that even if it's loaded after the content to be able to be positioned on the top of it?

I use 960 grid

Google Instant Previews show pages the same way any WebKit browser would do, which is the same way your visitors see your site. From Google's Site Preview FAQ:


"The preview generator renders JavaScript, AJAX, CSS3, frames, and iframes in the same way that a Chrome / Webkit-based browser would."


If you want to change how predominant the AdSense ad is in Google's previews, you'd have to change how predominant it is for all your visitors.

Alternatively, you can prevent Google Instant Previews on your site altogether by using the nosnippet meta tag:

<meta name="googlebot" content="nosnippet">


Note that this would also remove the text that appears below your page title that describes your page in Google's search results, which may be less than ideal.
