SE's & Tables

Ok SE gurus. Can someone help me out here? I've seen a lot of differing info out there and I'm trying to get the straight scoop on this issue. When you use tables to keep your design where you want it on the page does this have an effect on how the actual text in the page is searched/ranked by search engines? Thx

It means some SE's may weigh text on the page in the actual code, and not the position on the rendered page. Right columns get pushed down in the source of the page. You could use CSS to get around that if it's a concern.

i've never noticed problems with using tables as related to search engine ranking, i wouldn't worry too much about it.

I agree with pornJester
that's not your problem when optimizing for search engines.

There is a trick to keep the right hand column text high in the page source:

Open the table and for the first TD, do a COLSPAN="TableColumns-1" and leave it empty. Then a TD with a ROWSPAN="TableRows". That can be varied to put a middle column near the top of the document as well.:thumbsup
