    Hi,

    Im rebuilding my site and i want to know if the following would be classed as spam by any of the search engines and get me banned.

    I want to build it in tables but also use css to position them.
    This means that i will be able to place my header at the very foot of my code and the more important text near to the top of the code.
    When viewed by a browser it will reorder the tables as i have stated in the css so the output places the header that appears at the very bottom of my code is displayed at the top.

    Is this spam? im not hiding anything ... i just using css to move the more important text of my pages close to the top of the source.

    This is 100% for the spiders ...

    It shouldn't be. The engines are still too dumb to figure out that your menu links shouldn't be considered content, so what you are doing would actually help them.

    Should be fine. Why not drop the tables altogether :) and just go pure css?

    Hi darrens,

    Have you seen this CSS-only layout which does exactly what you're talking about, i.e. puts the main content DIV at the top of the page:

    Hope it helps,

    Cheers,

    Ben

    Good idea - I don't think you're going to have any problem with it.
