HTML5 – The Future of Web

    We may think of HTML as tags and angle brackets. That’s an important part of it, but it’s not the whole story. The HTML5 specification also defines how those angle brackets interact with JavaScript, through the Document Object Model (DOM). HTML5 doesn’t just define a <video> tag, there is also a corresponding DOM API for video objects in the DOM. You can use this API to detect support for different video formats, play a video, pause, mute audio, track how much of the video has been downloaded, and everything else you need to build a rich user experience around the <video> tag itself.
           

    Talking about SEO, HTML5 is a boon for SEO. By implementing HTML5 one can say that we can now allow seach engines to dissect and evaluate our pages more efficiently. Let us see how HTML5 affects the SEO of a typical web page.

• The foremost thing is that the XML like structure. The HTML5 markup is XML like structure, which is the most search engine friendly structure.
• Typically your web page consists of containers that are mostly <div> tags. be it your sidebar, your content, header or footer. making the search engine index complete page including text from headers and footers. Now you can let the search engine spider know what is your main content and what is your sidebar using the <section> <header> <article> and <aside> tags. The search engine spider would be able to index your content more efficiently
• Define your main content for the search engine to focus, using <article> </article> tag.
• The <header> and <footer> tags can tell define your page’s header and footer to the search engine. Another good use of header would be to define a post’s meta content like title, date of publish etc inside an article.
• Embedded media like videos, and audio can be optimized well enough simply like this. <video> the alternate text or the search engine friendly text </video>.

    So I would suggest you to keep your eye open on HTML5 markup as this can seriously increase your SEO score. But the sad part is that there are still many browsers that do no keep them selves updated with the latest markup. So it may take years to practically implement HTMl5 on your website if you don’t want to compromise with your traffic.
