I'm getting some "Insight" about http://www.candle-fundraising.org. On the Insight Tab, under Insight Breakdown, there is another tab for "Text Emphasis." It has all the <i> occurrences on the page. After looking at the page, I saw that they all occur in the code generated by Menu Builder.

Is this an SEO issue?

I see that Insight wants 'strong' instead of bold, and 'em' instead of italics on certain key words in order to make them more emphasized. I have never seen anything in e.g. Google webmaster tools, SEO that they have that as a criteria, but you never know.

I haven't seen anything either, but you never know. I figured it was good to ask.

Many SEO's think that bold and italics make a difference, but I have never found analytical data to back it up.

Using 'em' and 'strong' make ones site more compliant with what is considered current best practice, to separate semantics from presentation. Could be that simple. Who knows?

Yes, I looked just like that in 1962.
