There is no problem with tables. the problem is when u hard coded ur design, such as putting lots of nested tables. The crawler may have a problem reading ur pages.

No problems using nested tables. The thing is some people have spread rumors that high code to text ratio has an effect on rankings.
Take a random sample of 100 websites on a hundred keywords and analyze the sites code on the top. you will find plenty of nested tables, flash, image navigations, content being in the last div etc...
As long as your site has good navigation with keyword rich anchor text and can be read by spider simulators you will be fine.
Spend your time focusing on getting links, developing content, becoming an authority and developing link bait, and do0 all of this with your visitors in mind. This is what will get you to the top, not your sites code or the fact that you use tables or divs. There is no evidence to support these notions, however there is evidence to support that quality content, plus a good site architecture, quality incoming links and high user loyalty will get you the rankings you want. Go after what is known, and forget about all the red herrings

take any menu like SEOChat Forums: » Register « | User CP | Games | Calendar | Members | FAQs | Sitemap | Support |
This could be a description but also if someone queried SEOChat Forum Games
SEO Chat Site, SEO Chat Forums, Search Network, Advanced Forums ... The Arcade ( 37 Games) .... Options. Play game Battletank - Desert Mission ...
and

The "design" as in the way information is displayed can have a disoriented effect on your descriptions... with an "inadequate design"...
But that doesn't effect ordered ranks one bit.

Changing website design will not affect rankings, but don't often change the design. Bocz if u change the design often, the crawler read ur content structure (crawler read the website from top left, if ur website has most of the top keywords at top left in ur web page will be moved to some other place if u change the website design. so certainly this will affect the rankings. Also while changing the design make sure that u have not used any hard coded content like flash, video etc.) will differ.

lol.. Isn't this a contradiction.... I think it is a bit extreme to claim no design change will affect rankings. ie change from full html to full flash and watch your rankings change...
