You make a very compelling statement DC... Im curious about "a tableless" site. Are you saying tables are a cause of low pagerank? And that if I use CS instead I can expect better ranking?

First of all code has NOTHING to do with pagerank! Pagerank is mostly derived from backlinks to your site.

What I am saying is super clean, lean code along with good content will get you better positions in the SERPS than a tabled mess of code.

I'll go with that, as I'm a big fan of tableless CSS-driven sites.

Now that would explain it all, nice one dc dalton. That was I'm think, css will help, but a big part of ranking would still be on linking and content strategy.

I'm a fan of CSS tableless sites too and you make me feel more comfortable at it. hehe

Then I think it may be time for me to learn CSS and get with the program
