    I'm not sure, but I recall many years ago I read that creating tables for your (my) websites is not very good for SEO, and can actually hurt the website with search engines. I dont remember the reason behind the statement. Does anyone know if this is true?

    I'd check the serps. Pretty sure 99% of top ranking pages have some form of table/top list on there and they are probably doing alright.......

    I don't think he means exactly that, it was more of the old way tables were coded I think, years ago that used to be the talking point I think. Saying that, I've not heard the subject spoken about for about 10 years

    In the past some websites were created using tables for the entire layout, this is not recommended. Using tables to display data is perfectly okay though.

    @buddy m - I think table SEO is the last of your concerns. Maybe a trip to the optometrist next week :D
