Re: CSS is not the SEO silver bullet... Nov 10, 2008 6:22 AM

This is true but this is just one small portion of SEO.
CSS is more for functionality and design, and is not meant specifically for SEO.
Using meta tags, images, keywords in paragraphs and title tags is just a small portion of SEO.
Google does not care if you use CSS, Tables, XML, or other design types. There are many other methods to gain high SEO rankings.CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and this has to do with how the browser renders the code.
Search eninges take other things into there ranking of your site. How many keywords are on your site? How many links point at your site? What is the Page Rank of these sites?(page rank should not be confused with Search Engine Rank as they are completely different) Of these links that point to your site, how much traffic and such do they recieve? Is your site correctly designed to meet basic WAI standards.(Alt text next to images for example is relevant to accessibilty and not just CSS). Is your site doing anything "illegal" to super inhance your keywords? Is your site HTML or XHTML valid?
It might help to do a search on CSS and then do a search on white hat seo and/or black hat seo.
You will probably be able to understand better what I am saying.
I hope this helps.
