Romanato is correct. It depends on whether or not it's white hat SEO or black hat SEO. White hat is of course the legitimate techniques while black hat is the naughty, illegitimate means of bringing traffic to your site. While being critical of SEO you should distinguish between those two groups because there is nothing wrong with working your content out to improve your ranking in searches or helping the world find your content or products more easily. This subject stays just barely inside the lines of on topic as far as CSS because a semantic HTML structure is important not just for CSS but for SEO as well, as Romanato mentioned. Many of the same things you'd do to make your page more search engine friendly also aid in accessibility and usability. So before you go off cursing SEO and it's adherents in general it's important to acknowledge that SEO can be used for good and not just evil. I love SEO and I personally wouldn't be able to work much inside the industry without knowing a thing or two about it while I'm writing markup and applying CSS to it. -Adam Ducker (http://adamducker.com) ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
