Hi

Well first thing any part of SEO for a website is important.

When thinking of rankings you want to incorporate as many of the SEO methods that you can.

I typically explain to clients if the site at #1 has completed 80% of the SEO methods... then in order to surpass them... you would need to complete at least 81% of the SEO steps.

On the flip side.... organic rankings are not always the best for traditional e-comm merchants.....

Hope it helps

Peace!

H-Tags are still important in most SEO Practicioner... Putting your important links / KWs in H1 or H2 telling the SE Spiders how important it is.

H1 and H2 tags are one of seo important factors

Yes, in my own experience as well, H tags are important and so are bold tags.BE careful though as overusing the tags can have a negative impact. During an optimisation campaign for my web design company website I got carried away and was using 8 H1 tags on my homepage. After careful consideration and seeing my rank drop a few pages I back traced my steps and reduced the header tags to 2 or 3. As a result of that my rank has gone back up a few pages for my keywords.

Also note that only h2 , h2 and h3 are really important. After that the weight age is significantly reduced. e.g. h5 or h6 will not benefit your ranking in anyway while h1 and h2 will.

Are you trying to tell us here that <h1> is not the most important tag for rankings?
