Where to add <b> </b> for SEO?

Hi

I need to make some links on bold. Where is better to add the <b></b> code from the 2 samples felow?

Sample 1:
< a href="link"><b>MyText</b></a>

Or

Sample 2

<b>< a href="link">MyText</a></b>

Both of them make the link on bold. Which is better for SEO? To also include <a href> insite <b></b> ..or to include there only MyText?

Thanks.

 

I see no difference on both. And they are both considered good for SEO. What important is that you highlight and emphasize the main keyword which is actually another good factor in terms of on and offpage optimization.

 

Sample 1 is right .

 

both sample is right.

 

< a href="link"><b>MyText</b></a>

Always recommended..
