You might have often heard from search
engine optmizers (SEO) that table tags are not a good thing to go for.
They always recommend using <div> tag for structuring a website.
Well I will also recommend <div> tag instead of <table> tag,
but what to do when it becomes necessary to use <table> tag. Can
we optimize it, if yes then how?
So here is the way to optimize <table> tag and get best results out of it in terms of getting good search engine rankings.
Use "summary" attribute, it
serve the same purpose which "alt" attribute serve for image
(<img>) tag. The summary attribute specifies the summary of the
content of a table and it makes no visual difference in ordinary web
browsers. Table summary attribute also provide structure for user agents
rendering to non-visual media such as speech and Braille.
One example:
<table SUMMARY="Red, green and blue cells" border=1>
<tr>
<td bgcolor=red> </td>
<td bgcolor=green> </td>
<td bgcolor=blue> </td>
</tr>
</table>
