Use multiple h1 tag good or bad for SERP??

Hello Friends,

I just want to know that using of multiple h1 tag in one page good or bad for Google SERP? Can it effect on Google ranking?

Thanks,

 

Over using can be considered as manipulation. Use only on the best title of the paragraph or product name/services of individual page of your site. Use h1-h6 if you have multiple keywords or titles to emphasize.

 

You should use only 1 H1 tag per page. If you're using more than one H1 tag for a page, it might reduce the importance of other H1 tags..

 

You should probably organize your page by using the H1 tag for the title of your page or for the keyword you are trying to rank for. Then use H2, H3, and so on tags for your secondary keywords (also can sprinkle in main keyword here too).

 

I agreed with you chestercaldwel, and thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks for your valuable suggestion.

 

if you use multiple times h1 tag then according to seo guidelines its not correct, h1tag represent your main service so you should use it once only

 

Use H1 tag where it has proper need. Don't use so many times. it makes harder for Bots to understand page and what is right meaning of the page.

 

I just looked into this earlier today actually, you might be interested in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIn5qJKU8VM

 

H1 tag is not bad even they help you to increase your site serp on google search.

 

i use it only once on page

 

using multiple h1 tag is not a very advisable thing to do, according to standard seo guidelines you can use h1 tag only once

 

Defo should only be used once, try to think of it like a newspaper how they have various header text.

You only get 1 main header for the page the rest are then sub headers (h2, h3, h4, ect)

You would expect a couple of h2's but not h1's. You would expect to see quite alot of h3's sometimes depending on whats on the page.

 

Did you watch the video I posted where a google employee says that isn't necessarily true?

 

According to the seo experts it hardly matter how many times you put your highlight tags. Once is a good practice. Putting more than once dilute the density of your keywords and search engine start thing about spamming. So be careful.

 

H1 tag is unique, each page using only one.

 

H1 tag should be used once per page. Other then once, you might get spammed and reduce your keyword density.

 

As the video says, be careful if you use it more than once. Since Matt Cutts is Googles spokesperson to the webmaster community, you can believe what he says. If you want the info from Google's mouth, check with Matt Cutts.

 

why only H1..we can use h1-h6..use them... so the web site design will look more effective..wat say?

 

There should be only one H1 tag on a single page, if you really want to optimize your website for search results. For other keywords you can use H2 and H3 tags.
