1) the whole site is generated from templates and driven from a database. and I could literally change the look and feel of 8000 pages in about 10 seconds.
2) I am crawled all the time by the Search Engine Bots
3) I use tables extensively, but not frames.
4) I have heard that I should use <div> tags instead tables
HTML*Utopia: Designing*Without*Tables Using*CSS, 2nd*Edition - SitePoint Books Explains it very well.
5) other have said by using div tags I can take the navigational elements and move them to the bottom of my page. Thus moving the content up and more powerful.
So what are the pros and cons of making the changes and is there any real reason I should do it?

By the way I am not convinced switch from the <table> tag to the <div> tag buys me anything from a bot looking at the page. They should be able to handle both.
I can see maybe the navigation elements like a toolbar being placed at the end of generated code vs. the beginning having an affect. But does anyone have a research to back it up?????
I really would like an answer because if it really is the case I will switch my site around faster then you can say "I'm a Newbie!"
