Hello
I am concentrating on the SEO aspect for our website and I have read that tables lead to bad SERP.
I am trying to remove table based layouts....till now I have been able to simplify the layout but don't know how CSS can be used to have same look for the website and remove tables...

Please kindly look at this and give me some suggestions

With Regards and best wishes for 2005

That's sort of true but not 100%. The idea is that the more code you have per page, the more dilute your content becomes. By using css (in particular with an external css file) you can reduce the quantity of code and so make your site easier to spider.

However, just cause you use css, does not mean you have to completly abandon tables. The table tag it's self will not cause any SEO problems. Rather it is all the cellspace="0px" type inline atributes that bloat the page size. Shifting all the inline atributes of your tables and font tags into css will have the effect you seek without a complete page redesign.

CSS design is quite different form tabled design. If you want to recreate a existing tabled design with a css design of exactly the same appearance then you are probably wasting your time. If you want to make full use of the benifits of CSS, then you should create a brand new design form first principles and not trying to make css behave like talbes.
