  (and the search engines are very happy about proper HTML code, too).

I've actually come across this point before, that search engines will rank a
page that doesn't use tables for layout better than one that does. I can't
really argue against that point, but I am really curious. Does anyone have
links to any authoritative information on this?


I would also like to see solid information on that topic but I'm afraid this statement is very hard to catch. The Google SEO Guide mainly focuses on the title and description of websites as well as headings an links. I suppose more detailed structures and elements (lists, tables, em, code, etc.) are not that important for search engines but for other tools that need to work with the document structure (js scripts, screen readers, semantic analysis, data mining, etc.).

Happy programming
Stephan
