i hate to jump in this argument but...can an SEO expert answer me this? this is what i was told by an SEO guy...

of course, a SE can read through and understand and differentiate between tables & text. but, i was told that amount of characters was also something to consider. especialy when your site is first getting crawled. because there is a limit to the amount of characters/data on a particular page that an SE will crawl through and store in it's archived data. Therefore, the less code needed to format, the more actual text gets stored. this is why you sometimes see those crappy sites that use formatting from HTML infancy do well in SE's.

is there any validity to this?
