Question: Is there any Google SERPS benefit to encapsulation in <p></p> tags? I.e. worth going through site to update everywhere? Larger question is, outside of h and a tags, does it matter much what tags general kw text is in?
Thanks, and WebmasterWorld is water in a desert of noise <g>.
I cannot conceive of any reason why Google would give extra points to keywords in a <p>keyword</p> context. Never even heard the idea before.
Google cares about content, it helps if your HTML is valid enough for Google to be able to extract said content.
Validation to a strict DTD has, in the opinion of some people here (myself included) many advantages. Improved Google ranking is not one of them.
Not surprised to hear a weird idea <g>.
So it wouldn't matter if kw text following an H1 tag were in a p container or a td container, for example?
Thanks for the help and the welcome!
I thought that I had answered your question :) but since you seem to want a more explicit reply, here goes ;)
Q. So it wouldn't matter if kw text following an H1 tag were in a p container or a td container, for example?
A. It would not matter at all (IMHO, of course).
On a more serious note, take everything you read here (or anywhere else other than in the standards documents) with a grain of salt. By and large I see more information than misinformation here, and most misinformation quickly gets flagged. But still, caveat emptor.
>..grain of salt
I have high blood pressure from all my grains of salt, thanks <vbg>!
