Does making a link bold increase its value?

Discussion in 'Link Development' started by idzone, Feb 26, 2007.

    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.:)

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

    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 ;)

    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
