In the observation we did on a group of B2B Websites over the course of more than year we looked at how the usage of Html changed.

Html is a markup language. It marks a text document with tags, Web browsers interpret these tags, and the result is a formatted document visible in the Web user's browser window. Html tags can also define document structure in a way that importance of various parts is understandable, both for machines and humans, and resemble the layout of classic word processing documents. One such is the Heading tag (H1-6).

Web sites and Web pages are all about the content. Content is the text of a Web page, images, multimedia presentations and
videos. However, not all content is equal. Textual content is normally seen as a secure way of having content indexed by
search engines and probably readable by users, but multimedia content has no such secure way even though some search engines
are able to index it. That is why textual content is still the most important content for indexing and optimizing content for
search engine marketing.

The options that Web designers have to set up layout for a Web page are somewhat limited. For long time the only option for Web designers was the Table tag and for many Web designers that is the primary tag to make pixel perfect layout.
