<div id="navigation">navigation menu here</div>
<div id="footer">footer stuff here</div>

Using proper CSS you can make that look like navigation on the left, content in the middle, and footer at the bottom.

Now lets try to do that exact same look with tables

<table>
<tr>
<td>navigation</td>
<td>content area</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>footer stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>

Oh look, the source code shows the navigation first, which means the search engines use it's stuff before it gets to your content, and if google index's say 100kb that means a good portion of your index is just your navigation, the shit you REALLY don't care if the surfer sees.

Does that help you mentally challenged people who don't understand proper CSS/DIV use and SEO, truely understand why it's better to use?
Thank you. You just proved my point. What you have just described is PROPER USE OF MARKUP TAGS for SEO benefit. The only use for CSS in your example is to style this markup (which has no SEO benefit).

You are confusing what is having a benefit and what is not.

Uncluttered markup IS AN SEO benefit. But you can do this WITHOUT CSS! CSS just makes life easier. CSS does not directly correlate to any SEO benefit. It does indirectly increase SEO by allowing you use proper markup.
