SEO Benefits of CSS Part 2

Use of standard HTML tags - By using CSS web designers are forced to used standard HTML tags that have SEO benefits like the heading <h1> tags  instead of relying on font <font> tags for styling content. Font tags work just as well for achieving the look you need to emphasise the word(s) within the tags but does nothing for greater visibility of your keywords in terms of spiders being able to classify the words under those tags as being more important.

Another example of standard HTML tags used are the unordered lists <ul> and anchor <a> tags, which are needed for making menus in CSS, this results in automatic links to the pages found on the menu list making it easier for spiders to find the other pages on the site simply via the navigation menu. Of course these standard HTML tags are also used even by those not using CSS but there are lots of times when they are not (such as when links are embedded in javascript and other instances). With CSS you won’t have to worry if the web designer used javascript for the menus or not because you can be sure that search-engine friendly tags are used.
