Why should you not use tables - Web Design Tips

Before answering the question why should you not use tables I would say the goal of Search Engine Optimization is to make search engine spiders understand your website.

If your website is properly coded it will not stop search engine spiders to crawl efficiently the text and links in your website. Your website's high quality score depends on the good code.

Now lets move onto analyze why should you not be using tables in your website.

If you are using tables in your website code the content is deep down within nested tables. Search engine spiders find it very difficult to crawl the content inside the tables. Search engine spiders never index if your code has more than four nested tables.

To ensure good page display and proper code stop using tables and write a code that enables the search engine spiders to efficiently crawl your website and get ranked on top positions in search engines.
