Hi and welcome to DEVPPL.

The only thing that affects the Google PageRank is in/out-links.

One thing that benefits your SEO using CSS is that your code get more relevant and you pages gets smaller = faster to load for the search engines.

The best thing about using CSS is that you can do more then with just HTML, and that you're code gets smaller.

If you are serious about website design then CSS is definately worth learning. Not only can you achieve better effects using it, but by linking all of your pages to a master CSS file you can also create a uniform style throughout your page which is easily editable.

Agree with you on 100% than CSS is very helpful for the work with pages. But I am a little bit confusion with problem what may be better CSS or table for html for getting better result with rating?

I'm not sure if google cares much about your css code, but other small search engine sites do still crawl web content in your code, and it would make it easier for the crawlers if you separate all the styles in a css file.

as webmaster said to get a high page rank it is important you have alot of in and out links, to optimise even more, you need Meta tags... they go in the <Title> part of the html code, here are some examples...

* <META name="resource-type" content="document">
o The only resource type that is currently in use is "document" This is the only tag that you need to put in for indexing purposes, but use of the others is a good idea.

* <META name="description" content="a description of your page">
o Depending on the search engine, this will be displayed along with the title of your page in an index. "content" could be a word, sentence or even paragraph to describe your page. Keep this reasonably short, concise and to the point. However, don't be so mean with your description that its not an appropriate reflection of the contents!

* <META name="keywords" content="a, list, of, keywords">
o Choose whatever keywords you think are appropriate, seperated by commas. Remember to include synoyms, americanisms and so on. So, if you had a page on cars, you might want to include keywords such as car, cars, vehicles, automobiles and so on.

* <META name="distribution" content="one of several">
o Content should contain either global, local or iu (for Internal Use). To be perfectly honest, I can't quite get my head around this one; its supposed to list available resources designed to allow the use to find things easily, but I still don't quite get it. My advice is to stick to "global".
