Strong vs Bold tag



HTML's Strong, Emphasize tag is grouped as Phrase elements while Bold, Italic tags are considered Font Mark-up. Moreover, let's distinguished the definitions of both.







Phrase Elements - are tags that affects the meaning of an element which may be rendered in screen, speech and others. They give more emphasize on the word that is inside the tag.

Here are some of the following tags grouped as Phrase Elements.
em, strong, q, code, abbr, acronym, dfn, kbd, samp, var

Font Mark-up Elements - are tags that doesn't give meaning emphasize to an element but just for visual display.

Tags of this group are.
b, big, s, strike, tt, u

Therefore in SEO, both treated with same weight but Strong tag conveys importance other than weight.
