You're welcome Mark! Many clients don't know the impact proper coding can have, simply because they can't see it. But it can make a big difference. (Alas many developers don't know either. I shudder when I have to rework old table formatted code full of deprecated things like font="whatever," or worse yet blink and marquee.)

Heidi, thanks for reminding me about this post. I'm going to refer people to it when they get antsy about all my tags.

Todd,
I'm glad you found it helpful. I think I first started paying attention to semantic mark-up mostly for usability, but it helps on a variety of levels. Thanks for sharing!

Must read! So glad you linked me here. I was unaware of the SEO value of proper markup. I've frequently used bullet points and also used bold around sub headers but rarely think of using h5 instead. Never realized it made a difference to Google, etal. Will be sharing this for sure. Todd
