I've been coding for a while and it's just struck me, what's better to use in terms of SEO:
<b>Hello</b>
or
<strong>Hello</strong>

Valid question, but people who worry about this level of minutia should have the rest of their site absolutely perfect. – Mike Hudson Jun 7 '11 at 22:17
According to Matt Cutts are treated exactly the same. FYI, <i> and <em> are also treated the same.

I would never think to even question this! Too busy trying to write good quality content to go in between the tags.... – Digital Essence Jun 7 '11 at 15:51

@Tchalvak - that's always the best way with SEO. Unfortunately we don't get too many chances to do that. – John Conde♦ Jun 7 '11 at 19:22
John is right, but <b> denotes the way it should look like instead of the meaning like <strong>. The same with <i>, you are saying that text should be in italics but, with <em> you are making emphasis on that text.
