On the StackOverflow a
question block (in the q-list on the index page and so on) represented by the following html code:

</div>
It uses float positioning.
My questions is:
Would use of css styled tables be a better choice? (It's a table,
isn't it?) Or it just depends on what are you prefer to use and doesn't affect the technical side (search engines or something)?
The background information (such as number of views, votes etc.)
comes first in the code. And I know that search engines have a limit
at viewing each page. So would it better to place div's depending on
their importance and then markup them on the page using css methods
(like negative margins and absolute positioning)? Or it isn't so important in this instance?
