Increase rankings with Bold Fonts

A great magazine article will have a great title to grab your
attention, and then it will use Bold Text to highlight
keywords. Many aspects of Google SEO 101 are simply
a common sense approach to writing and appealing to the
human reader. When you open up a magazine article there
are several parts of the layout that will grab you attention.
The Title of Course, and I have already covered that the title
tag was the most important aspect of Google SEO 101. Use
this same approach to grab the Google spider’s attention
when doing your web page highlights for the keyword
phrase that you are targeting as well as grab the reader’s
attention. If the keyword phrase for your article is Google
SEO 101 then everywhere that the word Google SEO 101 is
mentioned it should be highlighted in bold text. Just that
simple. Create a pattern of bold text to keep the human and
the spider’s attention. Using bold text will also make it easy
to see if the keyword phrase is dense enough in you article.
Keyword phrases that are too dense will come off as spam
or keyword stuffing. If the keyword phrase is not repeated in
the article the Google Search spider will not have a clear
understanding of what the article is about and will not rank
that webpage high in search engine rank placement
(SERP). The use of bold text can also add value to your
keyword hyperlinked text or anchor text. If you are using a
forum signature with an embedded hyper link, add bold to
give your signature for more boost as well. Use bold for
internal linkage as well to cross index your web pages. In
conclusion, the use of bold text will set your article apart in
searches and increase your chances of a first place ranking
as well as give hypertext link keyword phrase and
signatures a boost. I like to call it a “Boost of Bold”, Bold text
yells at the Google spider “look at me”, “ I am important”.

The same goes for bullet lists and italic text that stands out from the rest of the body of text.

I agre if you use bold with italics it will give more weight to a keyword phrase.

Some keywords should be put in bold typeface to point search engines in the right direction.

Its one of the factors, but like any SEO method, avoid overusing it!

For me it has advantage and disadvantage.It can directly point out the exact keyword when it is bold but it's not that good in terms of appearance.

No SEO just is SEO.Do not deliberately do it please, have 1 or 2 is very good in 1 articles.

I often use bold text for my keywords because I'm afraid that Google could penalize my website because of using this technique. It is better to use it once in a while, it might damage your rankings.

Though bold fonts help..it is not good idea to overdo it. one can use bulleted content also..
