    Some questions

    For the all the spider is better not to use nested tables ?
    Is it better to use CSS than HTML for optimization.
    Google care about the tables, what I mean is if there are too many tables google does not index the page?


    Thank you

    There is no issue here, Google will index the same either way.

    The best way to code your site is to utilize semantically correct XHTML markup. Google love the semantic markup.

    I don't think it is the case.

    My best ranking site is designed with nested tables, exceeding 4 levels in some pages (old design since 2000). Google manages to index every page.

    The site is not even SEF, using a lot of query string.

    Careful. The seo's will start designing pages with massively nested tables in the hopes of replicating your success :D

    LOL. That site was designed ages ago, when IE and NS are equally dominant. I didn't say that the ranking is good because of nested tables. I think it shouldn't have a devastating negative impact on the rankings.
