Hi all. Happy Mondays. Can someone tell me if it's true that it's better for
SEO not to use html tables?

In fact. Why are tables in HTML code frowned upon? I've not seen good
support for this prejudice. They don't seem to be problematic in mobile
browsers. The usual answer is that content needs to be separated from
layout. But why is using a div or a span good separation of content from
layout and a table not? Good layout with only divs requires a lot of nested
divs. So why Is a table less maintainable?. It's unlikely that a new version
of a web site will only need a new CSS file. In fact I think less people
will understand what is going on someone else's CSS rather than in their
simple table layout. I'd be interested in good reasons for the use if divs +
CSS instead of tables.

 

Cheers

Rodders.
