    HTML5 allows for indexing multimedia content, such as menus, audio and video, with new markup tags. The content within these tags can improve a site’s search engine ranking. That's why it is important to use HTML5 in your site design.

  • Robertarticle,

    There is a lot of debate around the web about HTML5’s impact on SEO. Some would say that it will help your rankings while others say that it won’t make a difference. I tend to be in the latter camp. There is not really going to be a specific programming language that is the right one to use to increase your rankings. You should look at it from the standpoint of how you use any particular language to improve your rankings in search.

    Here is a good post on the topic,

    Hope that answers your question,

    The web might be moving towards HTML5, but old school HTML still ranks in the SERPs just fine. Even pages with text in HTML tables still rank in the SERPs in 2012.

      html5, as recently as a few months ago was the next big thing.
      I even touted it over a year ago (or more).

      It was never going to do much for SEO anyway. It was going
      to make your listings, maybe, in google, standout a little better.
      But you still had to get listed...

      Problem is, a little thing exploded on the way to the forum.
      Smartphones, tablets, social, and the whole "mobile" thing.

      Combined, they killed html5.

      Anyone in this thread who is touting html5, just is not with it.
      Maybe that's the problem with the lot of you. You don't read,
      research, or keep up to date. Html5 has been discussed recently,
      across the web, as DOA.

      I'll even be more specific. Apps have made it obsolete.

      But, I'll bet most of you are in the market for a great desktop PC, too.

      It's all related.

      Many of you are like, 1-3 years behind, if not more.

        Really? I think you are behind the times Paul. People do more than surf and run SEO tools on desktops. Sure am in the market for a desktop. Love mobile devices but can/t tell when last I have seen 32 gig ram system with top of the line fast processors and blazing fast video cards running on a laptop. If they even did I wouldn't want to spend the cash they would cost and not be able to open them up and put whatever I want in them.

          Come on Mike. That's so friggin' laughable. Why not re-read my post,
          and the OP's question, along with the rest of the replies?!?!?!?

          UMS, unknowingly, agrees with me. Notice he mentions html5 and
          apps in the same sentence?!?!?!? B I N G O! We have a winner!

          Html5, on any Joe Blow's regular site, is so last year.

          Now, re-read my reply above and put 2 and 2 together.

          OP was talking about html5 on HIS SITES, not apps!

          Apps. Apps. Apps. Any questions?

          Facebook, as some of us who are not behind the times, was
          choking android users with it's friggin html5 BS FB app. Thank goodness
          they have reworked it, ditched html5. But notice again we
          are talking APPS, not webpages!

          Gee....just what I said! And if you look again...
          Problem is, a little thing exploded on the way to the forum.
          Smartphones, tablets, social, and the whole "mobile" thing.
          OH! There's that mobile thing! Yup! Exactly how companies are trying
          hard, (many mistakes) using html5!

          Amazing what you can glean from an answer if you just actually
          read it!

          So let's rework the answer for the OP:
          What is the relation between HTML5 and SEO? why i should implement it?
          If you are NOT doing mobile/apps, forget it.

          Which is exactly what I said in the first friggin' place!

    I don't think HTML5 is in any way dying off, people are still buying boat loads of themes/templates all built with HTML5. All the modern web browsers are supporting more & more HTML5 tags. Even Internet Exploiter is trying to support HTML5.

    It won't make a difference. We've ranked BLANK sites for competitive terms just to prove that it can be done - and we use those case studies to close deals!

    We also have done fun stuff like rank a law firm's website #1 for "printing" in his city, again to prove it can be done, and get the deal closed.

    SEO is all off-site, no matter what kind of drivel you're hearing from the "gurus" these days.

    Really I don't care who uses what but HTML5 isn't last years news, like I said all the major browsers are moving in that direction. Even the slowest of the giants (Microsoft) has built their own site with HTML5, they resisted, eventually they gave in.

    Even with the browsers moving towards HTML5 they still support old school HTML (why wouldn't they). I don't care about apps, or horseshoes (what the?), HTML5 is steadily growing in popularity with web/devs. for building websites. Take a gander at major theme/template sellers & their demo source codes, it's trending towards HTML5.

    With that said, I could care less about HTML5 as far as SEO (really).

    Our general strategy is to wait to see how content is marked up on the web in practice and to adapt to that. If we find that more and more content uses HTML5 markup, that this markup can give us additional information, and that it doesn’t cause problems if webmasters incorrectly use it (which is always a problem in the beginning), then over time we’ll attempt to work that into our algorithms….
    HTML5 is still very much a work in progress, so it’s great to see bleeding-edge sites making use of the new possibilities

    HTML 5 going to replace those media & flash content that unable to crawl and understand by Google.
    That is why people HTML 5 came with a importance source for SEO. Google love content and and they would like to know how related your site towards the keyword. That is why you need HTML 5 to replace those source that unable to crawl or define by Google.
