CSS or HTML best to optimize your web site

[Fivetide]

Simple question CSS or HTML best to optimize your web site ?

[bogs]

both works but I prefer html with external css for its design and layouts...

[corlock]

they are both needed actually for best results...HTML can't do it better alone without CSS. And you can't actually optimize a site with just a CSS, it only composes codes, nothing else.

I prefer this one too and you can also put <div> so it will be more SE friendly.

[redeemer_spawn]

having css external make your codes neatly and it can give a nice results/output.,

Valid XHTML for the structure and CSS for the presentation and layout.

That's true: I totally agree.
xhmtl: structure
css: layout / design

Coding of the site has nothing to do with you rankings, now the site layout and structure does.

100% with tdd1984, but using them wisely helps.

Yup it has nothing to do with rankings but it help your site to load a bit faster than a regular html site.

Better than having a tabled layout and flash websites. You may have more search engine friendly site and less hassle.

Just an info, HTML codes composed of Tables while CSS stylsheets are more on DIV tag that's why CSS Stylesheets has the edge on SEO...

are you trying to say that css can stand alone?
Just an info too, css is just an html/xhtml embed or on any xml document.
CSS is on adding styles stored in a style sheet

It is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation (written in CSS). This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentational characteristics, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content.

Both SEO sites very well, there's no particular language that's superior in SEO then the other generally speaking. Other then Flash as far as I know.

I think this is more appropriate to say than what you said...

HTML alone is good.
An HTML with CSS performs better.
