    I searched the forum, and I know this is a noob question, but what exactly is an H1 tag? Is it like a meta? would it be <h1 tag = "">? in my code? thanks. I couldn't really find another answer.

    Hey, the tag is <h1>text here</h1>

    It makes it appear larger on page, but you can fix it with the <font size="number here"></font> tags. This basically makes it pop-out as a header when search engines look at your page, making it think that that is mainly what your site is about. You should only use one per page though, and everything else should be <h2>, <h3>, etc. tags.

    <h1> tags are used for seo purpose. Search engines prefer when keywords are put within H1 tags. Since the size of H1 tag is too big, it is reduced by using a css.

    H1 means "Heading Level 1". It's the big bold words usually found at the start of the page content (eg: the title of an article)

    In on-page SEO, it is important that you put a keyword on your H1 tag. ;)

    <h1> </h1> tag is very helpful in SEO and Search engines give good weightage to the keywords which given h1 tag.
    but just take care that use h1 h2 tag only once in each page.

    It doesn't, as long as you use them to build a logical structure on the page.

    till now you must have understood as to what can H1 tag is. Just wanted to add one more thing on this that please do nto use more than one H1 tag on each webpage. Then it will be seen as spamming.

    see h1 tag is heading tag so in one page only one main heading is there so it is common sense that it must be used once.but h3 to h6 tags can be used more than one time if u want.

    it is not necessary to use class only.u can use font and color if u want but it will help u to reduce your page size while u go for CSS files.

    Thanks to all, I got some good info :)
    What do you think about it?
    
<h1 class="logo"><a href="#"><img src="images/logo.gif" border="0" alt="[B]SEO Company[/B]" /></a></h1>
    Code (markup):
    My target keyword is SEO Company. So, this alt tag can give me some good value for optimization?

    Nooo... this is for TEXT headers, headers of articles or sections. Not for blank links...


    besides that - Hx are defined in .css file in different way.
