Weather you are getting traffic to your site or not, CSS has many benefits you simply cannot live without. It will create a better user experience and also could be the deciding factor in the order of the top 10 Google ranking sites for your keywords.
CSS is vital to your websites success. The online world is very competitive so you need every edge you can get. In the constant battle for search engine domination, every single factor in your SEO campaign must be considered essential. CSS is without a doubt vital to your rankings.
CSS has advantages as a coding practice because:-
• The style of a whole website can be changed by editing one file (saving hours of re-coding)
• Code size is cut down and therefore so are loading times
• Users of different browsers see the same end result when your page is loaded
• It also has SEO benefits! (as discussed below)
CSS files are a way to define the appearance of all/many of your web pages from one file. This is great because it means that you can change the color of all the text in your website at once, or change its size. You can exercise a vast amount of control over the looks of your site from background color to the space between lines of text from just one CSS file!
Having all these controls in an external file also makes your HTML code as small and simple as possible. Search engines love it. Your page code is cut down heavily and this will increase the prominence of your keywords. The more prominent a keyword is, the higher you will rank in search engine results. CSS could be just what you need to push your website to page one search results.
CSS will also increase the download speed of your website. This is a great advantage as visitors will often be put off by a slowly loading page.
One massive advantage of CSS files are that they allows for web pages to be cross-browser compatible. In other words, the webpage is displayed exactly the same in, for example, internet explorer as it is in Firefox. You may not have known that there were differences, as it seems ridiculous, however different browsers interpret code differently and so display pages differently. Before implementing Layout CSS, some websites look fine in Internet Explorer 6 but that are almost unreadable in Firefox and vice versa. CSS files are read the same in all browsers and so you know what your users will be looking at when you publish a page using CSS.

I'm searching for contest sponsors
By: FendyBt2 | 27-07-2008
Currently I'm building my website backlinks by running a contest to get bloggers link their blog to me.
I'm just wondering where can I get some cool prizes for my upcoming contest. Maybe someone would like to sponsor me some cool prizes?
All the sponsors will get a link back from my website in the contest post and in my blogroll link. And all the bloggers that participate in the contest would have to put the sponsors link in their post. That's a lot of free backlinks just for sponsoring one contest. Anyone interested?

Motion to Appeal the denial decision of my CSS class membership by the Special Master
By: canela saenz | 19-07-2008
My city where I live is Los Angeles. I am a "Catholic Social Service "(CSS) class member. I recently appealed before a designated Special Master the Service (US.CIS) class membership denial decison which I applied along with my legalization application I-687. The Special Master (SM) based on the Rule 53(g) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) just ordered a decision pertained to my appeal which was served to me on July 9, 2008.
While I do not agree with Special Master decision and given the fact that I under the FRCP I am being awarded 20-days to appeal the Master's decision, I would like to know three things: (1) what kind of motion do I submit to appeal the SM decision, (2) where in Los Angeles do I submit this motion to appeal, is it at a Civil Court?, and (3) what would be the fee that I have to send with this appeal? I appreciate your prompt response. Thank you: Canela
