CSS allows you to display your web page according to W3C HTML standards without making any compromise with the actual look of the page. Google is the leading search Engine and major source of traffic. Google gives very little value to the web pages that are well-organized, since the value is little thus many Designers ignore it. But by taking small value may drive much traffic to the website.

By including the styling of the text in a separate file, you can dramatically decrease the file-size of your pages. Also, the content-to-code ratio is far greater than with simple HTML pages, thus making the page structure easier to read for both the programmer and the spiders. With CSS you can define the visual effect that you want to apply to images, instead of using images per say. The space you gain this way can be used for text that is relevant for spiders (i.e. keywords), and you will also lower the file-size of the page.

In the SEO, it is very important to use external CSS. How it gives, let me explain, In SEO, the content is the King and not the amount of code on a page. Search engines spider will be able to index your pages much faster, as the important information can be placed higher in the HTML document. The search engine will not have to look too far in your code to find the real content. A better site ranking means better visibility on the web, and this can translate into more visitors and, ultimately, into increased sales or number of contracts.
