Thread: Using HTML Header Tags to Improve Your Google SEO Rankings

Most web developers have discounted a fundamental element in getting good SEO Results. Using Header tags within your HTML page is paramount. For example, if your page is about apples, and you have properly configured all your Meta and title tags to match the file name and content of the page, the next obvious step is to create relevant header (h1, h2, h3, etc.) tags.

Using the right combination of h1, h2, h3, etc. tags can be a daunting task. Don't worry, we are here to help you dimistify the process. Keeping all of your h tags relevant to the title, meta description, meta keyword and content is paramount. Plan your strategy well before trying to sit down to write each of these elements. For example, if your web page is about apples, your meta tag should descibe the type of apples, and your title should list the type of apples.

[B]For example, a webpage about apples would be names apples.html[/B]

Then the meta tag description could be something like: We recommend red, delicious apples as a source of vitamins which also contain antioxidants to help you lose weight. (granted the meta description will be in-line not only with the content of the page but ideally, also the content of the web site)

The meta keyword and title would list apples: Apples Red Apples Delicious Apples (try to put keywords that match words in the meta description). Then the h1 tag would list within the page the special atributes of apples. Perhaps aptly named Apples are Healthy and Delicious An h2 tag would then focus on each individual quality of apples, for example: Apples are Healthy Snacks Another h2 tag could be: Apples are delicious. You should quickly see a pattern emerging here. We use all the elements of a web page to help focus the overall theme of the page: Apples. Use common sense, it will be your best ally.

Its true that most media and design companies dont put much emphasis on those so called Web 1.0 techniques. But it is also true that they still have values in Web 2.0 SEO however little that might be.
One should not leave any stone unturned in putting a site into competition in this very very competitive environment.

Nice post. But I have seen even very good sites make mistakes in choosing keywords and designing an SEO friendly webpage. There are very few sites which are applying all the techniques.

This post describes how the Header Tags would be useful and important to improve rankings on Google. We think that these are small things but they carry out importance as well.

Good share, not only a/b heading tags but other onsite factors!

BTW, do you guys think using more than 1 H1 tag on 1 single page is good for SEO?

And is it good if we only use H2 or H3, not H1?

Thanks and waiting for your good comments.

using more than one H1 tags on a single page may looks like a spammy web page, and that is not good for SEO point and not very catchy on user's end.

Yes i try to implement H1 tags and so on into my webpage as more relevance is given to these tags by google apparently. Makes sense to do this really.. and can't harm your webpage.
