Maybe a dl would be the best comprimise?
Is there a huge difference between using that structure and a

And use h's where they are actual headings like Dave Woods suggested.

   right now im using li with the title of each page like this.


   section title
   
   page name 1
   page name 2

   but im wondering if i should use h2's instead?

   would google give more importance to the h2s?
   plus it really is a list of page  headings so i guess
   semantically it could go either way right?


   so either:
   section title

   page name
   page name2
   ...

RE: [WSG] seo / standards question

[Ted Drake]

I would also add that the h2 is probably not the correct header level.
Depending on your page structure, the set of related links is probably more
h3 level than h2.

Hi,

I'd say use a list, for two reasons. Firstly you said "im generating a
list of page links", and secondly a heading should be a
heading for something that comes after it in the content. So not this:

page name

page name2

But this would be good:

page name
Some content describing page

page name2
Some content describing page 2

Lists are the way to go, I think.

Chris

Re: [WSG] seo / standards question

[Dave Woods]

Go for the first option...

section title

page name 1
page name 2
...


Google won't give anymore weight as it'll simply dilute the weight of all
your h3 tags so only use them where they're relavant and where they are
actually heading up contnet.

I'd always advise creating your HTML for the users first and foremost using
semantic markup. By all means consider what keywords/phrases to use but
never abuse semantics in the hope that it'll benefit the search engines.

Hope that helps.
