What is the most important tag for SEO?
You might say that html, body, or head are most important as maybe search engines are not so forgiving of seriously faulty markup.
This poll is more for keywords - which tag is most important for keyword optimization?

I consider it a useless exercise to optimize for search engines. Different search engines work in different ways. Optimize for semantic markup and provide proper content.

Every tag is an important tag when properly used for content it is meant to represent and thus most important for SEO.
Improper use or looking for cheating search engines by improper use is doomed to fail. Don't make pages for the sake of good SEO, make pages for good reading.

Couldn't agree more with CB and Merri.
Also, the html; body; and head, tags are optional in HTML.

penagate: I've always found this interesting, because basically other rules force you to use html, head and body tags. For example, it reads in the title element description: "Every HTML document must have a TITLE element in the HEAD section." – that kind of overrules the optionality of the html and head elements.

Re: What is the most important tag for SEO?
Yeah, title isn't optional, but the head tags are implied; same with the body tags.
For example, this passes the W3C's validator, and displays correctly in Mozilla and MSIE:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<title>Hello</title>
<p>Is this a valid HTML 4.01 document?
And if you look in the DOM inspector you will see the head and body elements there.
Although this isn't really a practice I'd recommend - it's more just a point of interest. Same with short/null end tag notation (can't remember which), although no major UA supports, or can realistically support, that.

In fact, XHTML 1.0 Appendix C depends on them not supporting it.
