I have Maria doing a little research and she will post what she finds in just a minute but here was something I thought was interesting.

She said most of the sites ranking in Google use tables but most of the sites ranking in Yahoo do not.

I just thought that was interesting.

Google does not add any weight for being W3C compliant or using table-less designs. But it does help although very, very little in the fact that you can move the content to the top of the page.

But does Yahoo give a ranking boost for table-less designs and being W3C compliant?
