Maybe some of our coders can toss there

in after they read the blog post.

Quote:

HTML, the language that powers the Worldwide Web, evolves with the technology and the needs of users and developers to provide Internet users with the best possible experience. Most of the Web now uses HTML4, the latest approved version. However, developers already use the next version, HTML5, and most Web browsers already support most of the new features of the emerging standard. This means developers and SEO experts can start leveraging HTML5 in their work today to prepare for the Web of tomorrow.

Sounds interesting.

Am currently defining all my pages as HTML 4.01 transitional.
Seems to give me the most flexibility while still validating
(when I take the time to validate).

Never have cared all that much about SEO.
Decided a long time ago it wasn't worth my time/effort
(since I'm one of those crazy people who doesn't really care if I make money)
and SEO wasn't very fun either.

Indeed HTML is the widely used tool for designing the web page. It is the basic software which is used by both categories of the people, i,e from the beginners to the developers. Now that this tool has been kept updating, adding new features, the software is more in use today. Its latest version has great applications that if implemented in the web page makes it dynamic. One more thing is that every software should not be related to SEO, as it is not the main thing.

HTML 5 seems not to be bothered by some SEO rules at all. It was like a normal site but the script being used is new.

Many tags are implemented in HTML 5, out of these few are related to SEO, like <article> etc. I think those tags will help in seo to get preference from search engine.
