Heading Tag

Can anyone suggest me the use of H1 tag and can i use H6 tag before H1 tag

thanks in advance

 

You can use them in any order, I believe. Headers are there to stress on the relevancy of the page content to the search engines. Thus, it is vital to use a descriptive header

 

H1 tags are something to be used as the title of page. SE sees it that way giving the page credit for the keywords placed in H1 tags. Order does not matter.

 

Major SEs put a lot of relevance on the text inside <h1>,<h2>,<h3> tags.
Keyword h1 is considered most important, in h2, less important, h3, little less important upto to h6 with lesser relevant.

Meaning to say it gets lesser and lesser and h1 tag is the most advisable to use.

 

If you really want to emphasize important texts in your web page, use h1 tag

 

tell me if i'm wrong

According to my research H tags no more have any impact in google. but still with Yahoo and MSN.

And to my understanding H1 tage should be before H6

 

You can use whatever heading tag if you want but H1,H2, H3 are valued high in most search engines.

 

Try to focus on main heading tags like H1,H2 and H3. SEs give relevance on the text inside these tags...

 

thanks for reply! but still want some more comment

 

How about this then? (I'm not about to sound like a broken record, so I'll just refer you to a previous post of mine on the subject after including the obligatory "some of these people are wrong" comment.)

Technically you can, but that's semantically incorrect. Headings have a certain order, and should be used as such (H1 for the page title, H2 for the major section titles of that page's main content, and so on; the link will explain in better detail).

They don't see it as giving credit, they're just adhering to accepted typographical conventions.

They put additional relevance on heading elements period. Not just the first three (there are six of them afterall). Just remember to reserve the H1 element for the page title, and place your keywords appropriately (and remember that you're writing for human visitors, not search engines).

See above.

I have yet to see anything that even comes close to suggesting this.

Again, you can, but it doesn't mean you should. I've seen enough sites that have been trashed by people looking to gain every advantage from a search engine they can - usually (and almost always) at the expense of the people they should have designed their sites for in the first place.

 

just like what the tag title suggest "header tags" which usually use on titles of content... also use to categorize and specify content by the use of title...

 

Bogs, most of the time when people refer to "header tags" they're talking about heading elements, as in H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6. Not the TITLE element or META tags.

 

You can use H1 to highlight the logical part of the text. You can use h6 before h1 - it is your right.
It used to increase the relevance of the page. I doubt it still works.

 

As i know the most important is the H1 tag .

 

Which will just make the page harder for people with assistive devices such as screen readers to use. If you don't know anything about HTML semantics, I strongly suggest you start learning, especially since the search engines find it easier to determine the relevance of content when it's been marked up properly and appropriately (it's one of the healthy side effects of having an accessible and usable Web site).

In other words, stop abusing HTML like it was the child locked away in the closet for days on end only to be dragged out and beaten when convenient.

 

I believe heading tags are important but not as critical as keyword density in body content of a web page. Please do correct me if I am wrong. Thanks
