b means bold and strong means important. If nothing else is declarated strong is understood like bold, but you can (by css, not by html itself) declarate strong in other wise than bold i. e. b. b is always and only bold. In summary strong is more general than b. Hope it helps!

I read somewhere that bold is no longer a norm when writting HTML. With the introduction of HTML 5, the bold tag is not recommended along with other outdated font tags. The recommended one to use is strong. Strong allows your webpage to be viewed on smartphones. Smartphones cannot decipher bold tags, or so I read.
