HTML 5 and SEO....Shyam

At this point in 2010, web browsers are capable of supporting most HTML 5 code functions. 
The
tag
is how you can compartmentalize different segments of your HTML 5 page.  Each section should identify micro data vocabulary that you are using within the segment.


The new
tags
are where you will put the majority of the textual content on your page.  Again, a single page can contain multiple articles  and a single article can contain multiple
areas.  This nesting structure helps to further organize the content within a page.  If you are a blogger, you will want to use the
tabs to segment multiple articles on your pages.

The new tags when you convert your code from HTML 4 to HTML 5.At the end of a section, you can add a
tag. 
This tag contains any footer style text about the section such as the Author of the article and any links the article referenced.
The tag is where you place all of your internal navigation links.  Again, search engines will much more accurately be able to understand the structure of your site if you use this section.  In addition, you should place your "previous" and "next" internal links in this section if your site or blog contains them.
If you are familiar with HTML 4, you'll notice that the new HTML 5 tags I've discussed so far were previously handled by various tags in HTML 4.  The tags are add-on elements within HTML 4 that fail on many levels to properly describe the different sections of a web page. Finally, the new tag is very similar to the tag and will likely be used frequently on your site to make certain keywords stand out.
