like what?
<b> is a style - we know what "bold" is supposed to look like.
<strong> however is an indication of how something should be understood. "Strong" could (and often does) mean "bold" in a browser, but it could also mean a lower tone for a speaking program like Jaws (for blind people) or be represented by an underline (since you can't bold a bold) on a Palm Pilot.

You can use <strong> as <b>.
However, the meanings of these tags differ: <b> define bold text while <strong> indicate that the text is "important".

Probably the search engines render them differently, but for users they give the same results.
