The time tag

The time tag marks text as a date, time, or both. The date can be specified within the tag itself or via the datetime attribute.

The purpose of this tag is semantic markup. The search engine does not see the neutral span, but data that it can identify as a date or time.

Also, the point of this tag is that inside it you can insert a date or time (or both) in any format convenient for you, and in the datetime attribute you can specify the same date in a form convenient for search engines. For example:

<time datetime="2015-03-12">Last Tuesday</time>
