Used sparingly, the <b> or bold tag, can help you to grab a visitor’s attention in the short time you have to do so.
Highlight some of your keyphrases in bold – it makes it easier for your visitor to catch the keyphrases when scan reading, and may make them stay that little bit longer.
Unfortunately it doesn’t help in SEO terms, sorry!





Does the b tag carry the same weight/non-weight as the strong tag? I use the strong tag instead of the b tag.
