Impact Of Tables On Seo

Diana 897 · 02-01-2007, 12:57 PM

I am designing a website with tables (yes ... ick. Some decade I will find time to learn CSS). For design purposes (or lack of knowing the correct code , I used three tables to create my layout, not nested tables but "stacked" tables. ie. three tables running vertically down the page, one on top of the other.

I have one small table for a row of utility buttons and the company logo.
I have another small table beneath for a banner containing graphics.
The 3rd table underneath is the largest one with all of the content and navigation, etc.

Yes, dumb. But it was so easy ... can I now just nest these all into one cell or can I just leave it the way it is ... Will this negatively impact the spiders' ability to crawl this site?
