Someone should try a case study to determine whether or not tables interfere with SE ranking or not. Should be easy enough…I may take a crack at it myself, even though my CSS skills need some work. My opinion is that tables is pretty low on the list of things to worry about as far as SEO goes, but it’s not based on any actual split testing.
Yeah i agree. They add more to the pageload overhead than DIVs and are arguably harder to navigate by robots. However the main advantage to DIVs is that you can use “position:absolute” and put important text near the top of the source code even if appears down your physical file. Good for loading relevancy
