Table Summary and Caption

Are the <Table> attributes Summary and Caption helpful for SEO?
I have neither but fare pretty well in Google. Adding them looks like a boat load of work.

I welcome your thoughts.

 

I think I read somewhere it does, but not enough to be worth your while

 

It might be interpreted as over optimization. I am sure you have already added all your keywords to the title, meta description, meta keywords.

You can try this. Find two pages that rank almost the same for some keywords and on one use this technoques and on the other one don't. If you will see differences you can decide yourself

 

Thanks for your input

 

use separate and small tables instead of a big table. it reduce your loading time and it's good for seo point of view. another reason , you can increase keywords density using title tags in tables.

 

every thing will count but all this are not major,but still as seo expers we have to take note.
