I haven't worried about css at all as I think it's over rated and causes problems with different browsers. I like tables myself as they view the same in any browser including the mobile browsers. CSS is a problem on many mobile and non-full-blown browsers.
I just did added URL rewriting to categories and product pages myself about a week ago. I did it in an afternoon but I've done it a few different times with other websites and know how it works. I'm also pretty familiar with VPASP code and know where to find things so it was pretty quick and easy.
I think I spent half the time in the cart itself and half the time modding the different external feed and sitemap files I have on the 3 sites I run.
Anyway, I took a look at your site and can make a recommendation. Take a page on your site like: d60-Stealth-Visor-undercover-interior-lightbar-High-Power.htm
I did them like this instead:
Stealth_Visor_undercover_interior_lightbar_High_Power-d60.htm
Basically put your catalogid at the end instead of the front. If you submit the same page both ways to search engines with all else being equal the catalogid at the end will do better as your not putting "bogus junk" at the beginning of the link. By using underscores instead of hyphens to seperate words you can still search for the hyphen/catalog at the end to do the rewrite.
Also if the product has a UPC code, manufacture code or ISBN type code (anything like that) stuff that in the link as well. Do titles, standard codes and then your "cheater catalog id" at the end. This gets you "maximum" bang for the buck in the search engines.
Don't forget to also mod the headers also to add things like UPC, ISBN, etc in there to unless they are part of your keywords.
Another tip for you. Instead of using codes for categories also write them out in your product lists as well as they become part of the URL.
/Vision-X-XIL-80-LED-Off-Road-Lights/d185-Vision-X-XIL-80-LED-Off-Road-Lights.htm is much better then /pse/d185-Vision-X-XIL-80-LED-Off-Road-Lights.htm as you get to stuff more info into the search engine. :)
