    Here is my recommendation for H tags. H1 will be the main subject and keywords on your page. Each sub title relevant to that heading will be h2 and the subsequent categories to the h2 will be h3.
    Now Imagine this you have a computer website you go to Laptop category Laptop Computers will be H1, then all the laptop computers will be displayed and the titles of them will be h2 and the product attributes will be h3. Now if you click the H2 title it will open the product page and the product title will now be the H1 and the product attributes will become the h2 tags. You can apply this method to any type of website. There should be only one H1 per page.
    If you have webdeveloper tool bar for firefox you can go to Information > View Document Outline to see H tag structure in a website.

    Definitely.

    These are your headers. Think of them as the "titles" for the different sections of the page, as a sort of tiered outline. It allows search engines to see the focus of your page. In terms of SEO, it's a good idea to have your keywords come out in these tags.

    Based on some research we have done - H1 and H2 tags play a small part in SEO, but should be combined with the overall on-page SEO your site has..

    Google does not seem to take much heed of the h1 and h2 tags, although Yahoo and bing seem to use them in determining site relevance

    Hope this helps.

    Just do not go and create a multitude of H1 and H2 tags sprinkled across yuour page, as it does not look natural for the reader...

    Well first remember not to keep posting unnecessary comments or half comments in a thread. As you are new I would advice you to thoroughly go through each and every thread in this forum and then ask some good quality questions ;)
    Before asking the question, you should have known what is h1 and h2 :p
    It is just like the title of any article you write on your blog. Hope that helps !

    Hi, H2, H3 .......H4 Tag are important role in On page Seo Optimization. H1 tag represents Header of any content and search engine crawler important the content in H1 tag and in H2 tag represents sub header of the content and it also importance by the crawler. In H1 tag and H2 tag we write targeted Keyword.

    Yes they do play important role in search engine ranking but header tags has diluted in optimization value after the new algorithm updates this year.
