Like many other web designers, I began laying out web pages using graphical tools and discovered the wonders of tables for layout without anyone telling me to use them. Since browser support for CSS Is better than it used to be, and tables cause problems, CSS offers you a benefit you may not have thought about before, the benefit of better SEO.

The advice given here will help you get better search engine results because the key to real SEO begins with good page structure and organizing your content .

Human eyes are drawn to the page content right away, even when there are other things on the page. Search engine robots do not see things the same way, but, they are logical and predictable once you understand them.

You have most likely seen search engine results that do not make sense because some obscure content gets displayed instead of the actual content of the page. I will illustrate top down logic so you can understand how to make CSS work for you.
In the mind of a search engine, the gist of your web page is determined first by what content is at the to

You may be surprised how far you have to scroll before you get to the real content, and, how much other "content" a search engine will see first.

Let's use a simple HTML example:
Heading With Your Important Keywords
Subheading With Important Keywords
Your important content will be here, with keywords. Notice
how this is right at the top of your code. No matter where this
is on the page, you want it here at the top of your code.
This could have image buttons, text, or both. If using images,
make sure to include alt text which should contain keywords. With
tables for layout, this would most likely be above the content,
