Comments on: Does using CSS affect SEO? http://hm2k.com/posts/css-seo The research of an internet entrepreneur and IT consultant Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:31:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: hm2k http://hm2k.com/posts/css-seo/comment-page-1#comment-121397 hm2k Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:59:25 +0000 http://hm2k.com/archives/24#comment-121397 Wow, did you even read the whole article? 1. Search engines are backwards compatible, thus tables don't matter. 2. Not using tables forces you to use schematic markup. Better code can mean better search results. 3. Schematic markup helps SEO, not CSS. CSS styles the markup. Just because they are established doesn't mean that common sense doesn't over-ride, further more, their choice of wording isn't exactly in-depth. Wow, did you even read the whole article?

On page 3 they say that css WILL "get you better search engine results". I don't know either way but Seybold is very well established and I don't think they would say that if it were false.

What do you think of the idea that another benefit of using CSS and DIVs is that you can manipulate the order that text appears to the search engines by positioning elements on the page so that all your keyword rich content is not preceded by useless links that might dilute the potency of the first paragraph and H1 tag.
