I hear it a lot. Blog after blog, tip after tip. Pure CSS is the way to go for good SEO (I think that rhymed). I have many websites, 28 I think. Most are Pure CSS (tableless designs) with much thought to div order. Some have tables but highly rely on CSS. Those sites rank pretty well.

However, my best ranking site. #4 out of 8 million results, #2 for another keyword out of 7.5 million results is old school HTML. I'm not talking HTML 1.1 I'm talking big fucking heavy HTML. Font tags around every thing. Tables out the ass.

I put more effort in SEO into the CSS sites then I do this one. Not over SEOing it at all. I just pick my keywords more carefully for anchor tags, which sites I allow to link me etc. This one I'm pretty picky on who links me and where my traffic comes from but I don't care what the anchor text is...

Debate.
