I'm thinking about changing my template for newpokerpromotions.com to a 3 column template. However, I am worried this will negatively affect my search engine results. This is because last time i changed templates I went to 0 views for 2 days before returning to my regular 15-20 after I went back to the original template.
Was this a coincidence or did changing the template negatively affect my views.
Changing template changes the code on your site, so it will impact your SEO one way or another.
If you use templates that has "pretty" code, I don't think this should be much of a problem. However, some templates contains all sorts of messy code, which can mess things up.

Any time you change anything in the code on a page, it can have positive or negative consequences to your SEO efforts. No matter what you use for a template, your goal should be to have the cleanest code possible.
Any time you change a site this way it will usually have a negative impact but that is often temporary and as a rule if it's a good change then it certainly can't hurt you long term. SE's love change but at the same time eye it with suspicion initially. That's about the best way I could put this.
