Does making a link bold increase its value?

[idzone]

If I make a link to any website bold, does the target site get more value from the 'bold' keyword, when SEs index the site on which the link is present?

I am comparing the above with a normal link.

From what i know all links have the same value on a page. But if i were to guess i think it does increase the valve some how. No way of knowing.:)

[cybosapien]

None ..as far as i know !

[Alan Murray]

No extra value.

I think Bold text are used just to get more attention from visitors, not from SE bots ;)

But some SEO book said that gain more weight :)

[master06]

i think size and weight important for dumping factor.

Oh..if that's true, that's an add for me, thanks, I will look around on this topic now :)

What do you mean by dumping factor?

[swiftmed]

Wait what, well it gets more attention but i dont see how it helps seo lol

I think it will help you catching human reader's attention, but I don't think SE would mind it...

Yes, its difficult , but I have tested this thing, I have even tested a H1 link, lol.

But beileve me I don't see any change, infact I found the normal one to be better, but other factors too might have weighed upon.

But overall it does not make any difference whether a link is bold, normal or italic

I think you need to return the book. It's like saying that a link with a smaller font would be more valuable. That just can't be right.

But it's not returnable :p

It's just based on arithmetic of different search engine and their fancy ;)

[ichigo]

i think no. it only gives the text or word more importance. valuable in the sense that when readers read it. but not valuable if were talking about seo.

Zero Value. But making headings for your articles may have slight effects.

Making bold is an On-page factor......I don't think it would have any effect to the "linked to" site

[fadetoblack]

Well it gets more attention from humans ..bots I dont think so

Sure, it's only possible to help the keyword on the page get more weight ;)

[charlesgan]

a quick note here....
H1 better than Bold. bold better than nothing

[SeLFiE]

it doesn't affect anything on a link...maybe it will for your keywords value for your on-page optimization but not for link values...

I think it's only an on-page factor also. also, it wouldn't be worth the time testing to see wether it is or isn't since that could easily change from update to update.

[AGLOCOPH]

Well, it has no bearing with the "crawler"
so it has no significant to make the link in "bold"..
