Links in BOLD better?

I wonder if links are in bold, is it better for SEO? I've heard this somewhere.

E.g. the links in my sig are in bold. If I remove the bold tags, will it be worse for SEO of my sites?

Also, does the size of the font have any importance as well?

 

Bolding is better for on-page SEO, I don't think it would play a part in off-page SEO (other than making the page a related backlink).

 

You mean this?: Let's say I have a laptops site and I join a laptops forum and put a link to my site into the forum signature. Should I make the link bold?

 

Honestly I have not tested that yet. I will set one up and post back if I find any noticeable difference.

I don't think the bold would make a difference but the forum being related is good.

 

I think doesn't either... Proper anchor text of links would play a part...

 

i think it will make i difference on-page seo such as keyword i think it will have the same value as h1 or h2

 

A bold or italized text have much weighted than normal text, so it means that it plays.

 

plays for on-page or off-page links?

 

Doesnt matter. The crawler running under UNIX and read with or without <B>

 

i agree with you .

bold links are more important than the normal links

 

Only if you're using the <strong> tags rather than font-weight: bold; in CSS

 

If you blold any links , it is more easy to find it. nothing else

 

Yes, it matters.

 

Bold is emphasis per definition so 'yes' but how much weight is put on it? Not much.

 

it is said that "bold is better than "strong" as seo point of view but it gives more emphasis on links is also true... it will have a bit of more emphasis on the same...

aha...i agree with you....as they've said it emphasize on links

 

OK, thank you guys for all your replies. So it is better to make the links in my sig bold.

What about the size of the font? Does this matter as well? The bigger, the better?

 

I don't think the size or font-weight of the links will make any difference. I guess when the Google spider comes along it would use regex to pull all <a href="link">anchor</a> from the source then do their calculations.

I think the sizes and font-weights are used when calculating SERPs, to find out the keywords used within the page.

 

I think bold is better for both on-page and off-page SEO.
