Take a couple examples from the CSS Zen Garden http://csszengarden.com/ Both of these have the exact same html, and thus, the exact same SEO. White Lilly http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=036/036.css Wiggles the Wonderworm http://csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/099/099.css White Lilly is clean and easy to use. Wiggles the Wonderworm, while interesting, is harder to use.
