Do you know the difference between <strong> and <b>, or <em> or <i>??

Regardless of what tag you use whether <strong> or <b>, and <em> or <i> there is a difference in the meaning of these tags even when they display the same. <b> and <i> defines bold and italic text, but <strong> and <em> means that the text is "important" to heed, and semantically speaking or in relation to SEO (search engine optimization) it's good for spiders or bots that crawl pages to distinguish importance - it won't do much for the human eye, apart from the obvious STANDING OUT.
