Every affiliate, who make websites by himself need to write clean, correct HTML/CSS code in order for his pages to be properly crawled and indexed. Just because website's pages look good in Internet Explorer doesn't mean that Google will like it.

CSS comes to take the design out of the HTML file, leaving there only the content - the thing Google is interested in - but still making the pages look great for the users. This is the way to make your pages both Search Engine friendly and human friendly! You might have heard of things like table-less design, fixed width, fluid width. It's time to find out exactly what they mean, how you can implement them and how they can help you.

It's not a problem if you're new at this. There are a lots of ebooks that will guide you through the world of valid CSS/HTML and show you how to make the most out of your site's content in the eyes of the search engines. It would be great if more people would be able to better handle their online presence.
