    can u tell me that do we have to place targetted keyword in the H1 tag or not. cause google gives more importance to kewywords in h1 tag or it is better to write something else than the targetted keyword

    It looks like form this onpage software it says the less targetted word is in h1 tag the better it is it! Is it true

    http://www.link-assistant.com/website-auditor/sample-report/report-6.html

    a scren shot !

    THe target word is "Linkassistant seo" and the H1 tag is "Dear Fellow Website Promoter"

    and it gets 85% for the optimization rate so does it mean then no target words must be place in h1 tag and it Comes #1 in Google for the keyword linkassistant seo!

    No Way H1 tags should have your most important keyword whenever possible. Google loves H1 from my experience and with title tags are the most important on-page seo you can do.

    Yes, Only one H1 tag per page. If you stuff your page woth H1 tags, its SEO effectiveness decreases. Put the keywords in the title and put the title in H1 tag. Good SEO.

    It is very beneficial if you add your target keywords in the heading tags and also add it in the titles of the pages.

    Ive seen an extremely well ranking site, for a competitve phrase use multiple H1's... On paper, surely this is acceptable as the H1 define the start of a new topic?

    only H1 is your page/site name
    dont use H1 H2 further but H3 otherwise you undermine your menu/site structure

    H1 does give importance to the keyword you put into it, but just don't overuse it..

    Yes an H1 tag is required by it must be at the top of the HTML code to have major impact. Then you can use H2s and H3s if needed.

    It should be placed before your menu system on http://www.link-assistant.com/

    well All I am asking is that the onpage seo software "website auditor" is it reliable coz the link I showd above shows the screen shot of the software by the owner himself and also is of his own website where it gave 80% optimization rate coz it din't have target keyword in h1 tag and its competitors did and their optimization rate happens to be below 80% and are lower in serps as well,..

    so all I am asking is that software worth or not or how did it carry out its judge ment!!

    H1 tags play a enormously imperative role in helping a search engine assess a web page for bearing against a search term.

    H1 tag is very effective b'coz search engine crawler loves H1 tag but only 1 H1 tag per page but this is done by most of cases so how it's more effective for you.

    Which Keyword you used in Title that keyword put in H1 tag so it's gives you double benefit on that keyword and you can see result asap.

    That software is telling you quite clearly that a search engine will see Dear and Promoter as the most important keywords in your H1 header.
    if that's what you want - use that. if it isn't - and it isn't - then probably wise to think again.
