    <b> or <em> tags?

    Just a short question:

    Should one go for the <b> tag or <em>?
    Does it make any real difference if my keywords are highlighted one way or the other?

    Thanks,


    Cthulhu

    it's about semantics. do you want the word to be bold or strongly emphasized? <b> and <strong> have different semantic meanings, same as <i> and <em>. as far as search engines, i doubt it makes that much of a difference.

    Thanks, I was just wondering. SEO guides often suggest the use of <i> and <b> tags for your keywords, but rarely mention the <em> tag.

    Thank you again,
