Bold and italics on a page should be used sparingly. Target only the primary keywords when setting text as bold. Too many bold and italics text dilutes your keyword’s score.

Two to three bold text is enough.

I never used italics on my websites because these tags make text hard to read.

Hi Jerome,

Yes it is. I also checked the other articles in that site and those articles also have repeating bold for the same words and phrases. It was like 30% to 40% of the text is in bold.

I’m not certain when Google can catch this site and what kind of penalty they will receive, but for us web developers/designers, we need to be considerate to our sites’ visitors. Content with so many bold and italics are difficult to read.

Hello., I read this to this page ” If you bold/italize every instance of the targetted keyword or keyphrase in the page, search engine might see it as spamdexing. ”

I just want to ask if this is the one that you’re talking about?

You can see that in there are many repeated bold and links there. Is that consider as a spamdexing?

Thanks
