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.

Default Re: Are H1 H2 Tags Important

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?

H1 tags are important but should also be limited to 1 per page. h2 I think are equally as important.

I am sure there has been a blog post about the importance of headings this week.

H1 and H2 tags are important, but SEs give more weight to them if the same phrase is used in title tags too.

I do think that using these tags correctly will help with you search engine rankings. I read about this some time ago in the google webmaster tools section of google. Using these tags are supposed to tell the web spiders that this information is more important, as it should be used for the titles of articles and so forth.

Use only H1 tag once, and H2 tag once or at the most twice. Dont overuse the tags.

You can use the <h2> tag several times, and not only twice. Just to avoid any misunderstandings here. And it is not about overusing the heading tags. It is about appropriate implementation.

The <h> tags are surely important from the SEO point of view and can be used more than twice, but at the appropriate places.

Since you are claiming to be a web designer, I have to assume that you at least know HTML. Using the h1 tag more than once is wrong! Period. If you disagree, I think you should go back to school.

Default Re: Are H1 H2 Tags Important

H1 (Heading) Tags H1 or Heading 1 Tags are another
very important part of On-Page SEO and are almost
as important as title tags.

You are effectively telling The search engines that your page is about whatever
your title is. For this reason it is important to place your primary and secondary keywords into your
H1 Tags. H1 tags look like:

<h1>Your Heading Here</h1> Also H1 tags can
be placed anywhere between
the <body> and </body> tags of your page.

You don't want to use a generator (or genarater ). Just use your head and think of a short statement that is about that page/section and includes your target keyword. You can also google the term you are targeting and get some ideas from title tags.

Starting from <H1> tag to <H6> tag every header is important in SEO point of view. But there are some sites that don't have the h1 tags with them but still rank higher.

They are important. They do help the robots crawl the content and make sense of it all. The better the content, the better the page validates, the better the keywords, the better your ranking will get and search results in the indexes.

h1 and h2 tags are really helpful, there is no doubt that your on-site SEO will benefit from having proper h1 and h2 tags.

The best use of this tags in my experience would be to have only one h1 tag and multiple h2 tags on a single page.

Default Re: Are H1 H2 Tags Important

Here are some tips for optimizing H1 and H2 tags:
* IMPORTANT: More is not better, don't overuse!Limit each page to one H1 & 1-2 H2s, then use H3s
* Limit length of heading tags; less words to take away weight from your target phrase
* Include exact target phrases with-in heading tags, but use variations to avoid obvious repetition
* Place target phrases toward the front of heading tags for best performance
* Place heading tags in order. H1 should appear first in code, the H2 and so on
* Support the heading tag with content; each heading should precede a body of relevant content
* TIP: Style your H1, H2 & H3 headings using CSS to change their appearance - standard headings are not visually appealing.
* TIP: Avoid using CSS to hide your heading tags (yes it's technically possible using 'visibility: none;' ) This can cause you more trouble with search engines including devaluating content or even a ban.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

Header tags should not be ignored and are an important part of SEO, the size color and font of the headers can also be controlled, like in this html example below:

<style type="text/css">
h1{
font-family:verdana;
color:navy;
font-size:9px;
margin-bottom:0px;
}

</style>
<h1>Your header text in your font, size and color!</h1>

Many people say that your keyword must be included in Title tag (according to keyword density). They also say that it is very important to have a good keword density in upper quarter of page. As T1 and T2 help SE to focus what words are more important for your page, it is recommended to place T1 and T2 at the begining of page. T1 should be a headline containing the (majority) keywords fron title and T2 should be a subheadline containing the most important keys.

H tags are size specifiers for fonts. H1 is the largest and it goes to H6 which is the smallest. The idea is that H1 is seen as heading type stuff and there may be a boost if your keywords are in H1

Are you apple, ibm or adobe here? Or anyone else here? Look at their green bar and come back and say that again. Or do you think if their green bar was not so full, they would not need on page SEO?

And for my curiosity: For which high competentive keywords they rank very well?

When I started using h1 & H2 header tags my web pages started moving up in the SERPS. It was for more reasons than just adding the header tags though, I had made several other changes to my pages after I read a book about SEO.

Not meaning to hijack this thread I am really new here and love reading about lots of ways to help boost traffic etc...

I have added some title tags to my product descriptions, I am gathering from this thread I should add my <h> tags with the same phrase/keyword as the title?

And is it worth my while to add a <h> tag as well as a <title> tag on every single product and information page I have?

I'll go with the majority here and add 1 <h1> tag and 1 <h2> tag to begin with.

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

Hope it helps

Peace!
i agree with this. and you should do more seo for your site if you want to get better result.

H1 tags etc are an important part of a well structured page, you can use css to alter the size etc

Even for insignificant words like "click here", adobe and apple are the toppers.

Use your primary keyword in the tag <h1> and to strengthen the tag <h2>. This will result in more relevant at the time of the search

yeah they are really toppers for the keyword click here. but who want to search for click here? why they are so toppers for "click here" why not other site. maybe "click here" with other phrases we can do it for "click here site"

It's debatable... I have never noticed any ranking benefits for under the hood semantics.

This article from a Google engineer hints that they have tried to abstract themselves from any sort of predefined underlying document structure.

"The heart of the group is the team that works on core ranking. Ranking is hard, much harder than most people realize. One reason for this is that languages are inherently ambiguous, and documents do not follow any set of rules. There are really no standards for how to convey information, so we need to be able to understand all web pages, written by anyone, for any reason."

Official Google Blog: Introduction to Google Search Quality

There have been patents filed for things like evaluating pages based on bolded texts and such. It's anybodies guess I think... It doesn't hurt to make a good page... of course.

With any page you create, always be certain to use H1 and H2 tags. H3 and onwards don't matter so much. I wouldn't over-use the H1 tag though. Keep it's use to a max of 2 per page.

You should never use the <h1> more than once! Period.
