    I don't know what he just said.

    Tables are an outdated way to design site layouts, hands down - if you could get away from that, you would be better off in general.

    I am also curious about the answer here. I would be surprised if there were any significant negatives to using tables when it came to SEO.
    EDIT: I sincerely doubt there are...
    Hope that helps.

    Using Div will actually help your site. Tables are older way to design a site where as in DIV based design, search engines can get to the content very quickly. I don't think it affects in the SEO as search engine crawlers are smarter than ever and can read the content from table based design as well.

    Yep. It doesn't matter if you use <div> tags or a <table>.

    I don't think divs affects SEO by any way.
    Though I heared somewhere that a table less layout better.
