can content structure affect SE ranking or visibility?

like for example which is better a content that is styled or distributed into one column works better than a piece of content that is on a two column template?

This depends. If you are using tables and the cells separate connected pairs then you could be putting distance between words that make for better query strength when closer together. If you are using columns and it puts weaker content, like a menu, ahead of your subject content it could also weaken your query strength.

If you look at your content in a text reader and it flows properly then it is likely no problem at all.

The best solution for multi-column formats is to use CSS with floated DIVs to maintain the natural outline format of your [unformatted] content and to place important content above repetitive text like menus or secondary text.

Does that help?
