Only one H1 per web page and the rest of the h tags may be used or not depending on the content and presentation of the web page.
exactly, but try not to use h2 for every 3 words or similar... just keep that natural.. one h1 per page and h2 for every content section or h3 for subcontent...
For sure, the H1 tag should be used once per page. I suggest that you visit yoast.com because he knows what he is doing as far as SEO. Look at his source code and see how many times he uses the tags on his site.
The concept of H or Heading tags is that they should be nested in levels. One H1 tag that starts the page with H2 tags that are sub headings for each major section, idea or concept of a page. If you then wanted to further divide an H2 section into 3 more sections or sub headings you would do this with H3 tags and so on. This way you can nest the headings all the way to 6 levels deep.
Hello~!! Thanx for this opportunity to give u some information and suggestion about H tags.... I think u should have to use H1 tag once per page.....
You should use h1 h2 h3 the most. H1 for the top header and any headers below get h2 and the even smaller headers should h3
The HTML standard does not place a limit on how many times ANY of them can appear in a given page. However, they should be used to structure the content of your HTML document. They should NOT be used for styling purposes. Think of them as a way of outlining your content. If your page were an English paper for class, how many of each would you think your teacher would expect to see: H1 - one per page... describes what the content of the page is about. H2s - as many as it takes to logically subdivide the content... usually 2-5 or so... H3s - as many as it takes to logically subdivide the H2s... but these should RARELY be needed on most pages. H4s-H6s - if you're needing these then you should likely consider breaking your content up into multiple pages The mistake most people make is using these for styling... "Oh.. I need a big font with bolded text so I'll just make it an H3." This is not what they are for. It's to structure, organize, outline your content.
Guys! It is rather misunderstood that the h1 tag should only be used once, well in a SEO point of view, it should be once BUT you can also use them more than once if it's logically needed to have more than h1 in a certain page. Here's a video from Matt Cutts as he discusses things with regards to the use of h1 tags. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIn5qJKU8VM Hope that proves useful.
