google is different than any of the other search engine. It rankings mainly have to do with how many sites you are linked too. Not much else.

Personally I believe that CSS can only help your SE rankings, but I wouldnt expect too much (or anything actually) :mrgreen: . Why? It makes your html cleaner, easier to index, smaller, and faster to load.

yes, it will will help in all of the search engines,except google which it won't hurt , but will not give him a better ranking.

Alright thanks! If anyone has tutorials for more advanced CSS please let me know. What exactly is the <div> or <div id> function? does that just assign a class to a group (of links, etc.)? Also if someone has a tutorial using CSS with HTML tables or the <Span> tag please let me know. Thanks again!

N/m I figured it out, except the <span> tag but that is next on my list. Thanks for the feedback though!

CSS is very useful for SEO. The engines place high priority on H1 and H2 text/keywords. Without using CSS, the tags most likely will not fit the look and scheme of your pages. Use CSS to alter the look of the tags to your liking.

The <div> tag is used as a wrapper around paragraphs. For example,
[html]
<div class="paragraph1">This is paragraph one</div>
<div class="paragraph2">This is paragraph two</div>
[/html]
Then, you can customize each paragraph / text box to place it somewhere on the page, add a border, etc. Span tags work similar to div tags only they are meant to just highlight a particular word or phrase within a paragraph of text. For example

[html]<div class="textbox">This <span class="emphasized">textbox</span> is a good demonstration.</div>[/html]
