I wanted to say thanks to all of you for your suggestions. They are very helpful.

@Zivush,

If the paragraph can live without making it bold, don't put it in bold.

That's good advice. I am going to look over the bold paragraphs and see which ones I can make regular text.

Don't let the algo push the wrong button and just try to be on the safe side :-)

I think that I'll write the h2 tags without the strong tag.

@Robert_Charlton,

When you emphasize everything, though, there is no longer any differentiation. Ultimately nothing is emphasized because it's all the same. This is probably very bad for your users, too. It's like having them confront a page that's written all in capital letters.

That's a great comparison.

That said, your approach needs to be adjusted. What you're describing sounds like a late-1990s spammer's mindset.

By bolding the whole paragraph, I am probably overdoing it and this is probably not helping my visitors as much as I would like it to.

@diberry,

Title: How to trim widgets with a spork Header 1: It's not what you think Paragraph explaining that you use the spork in a manner different than the user probably expected. Bullet 1: {bold}Working The Tableware.{/bold} You can use your spork to blah blah blah...

This is a good format. I think that I'll try this. Thanks.

Can you guys tell how much of an impact the three things that I mentioned can have on a website? Even though it wasn't my intention, I might have over optimized a lot.
