<p></p>
The paragraph tag
<em></em>
Used to italicize text. Like the <strong> tag the search engines will put emphasis on text inside this tag
<strong></strong>

<a></a>
<a href=”pagename” rel=”nofollow”>
<img>
include an image ALT attribute along with width and height
<img src=”image.gif” width=”150” height=”60” alt=”Image keyword” />
Here you should remember to close all the tags. Never over-use <DIV> tags. Use <DIV> tags only in the appropriate places. but it would be more appropriate if you use the <UL> tag instead.Validate your webpage as and when it is being developed.
