Difference between <H1> and <font size=7> from SEO's point ?

Hi, I am using font size=7 for some of my text instead of using <h1> tag as I font the size of the text to be even bigger. I just want to know from seo's point of view, is it fine ? I mean I am sure that size=7 will have same effect as H1

Regards

 

IMO no.. u should use <h1>

 

A search engine thinks that text between the H1 tags is the title of the site. I don't think they do with Fontsize 7 though.

 

Search engines ranked according to keywords in significant tags like title, header and bold. Therefore, they view <H1> and other tags like <span class="H1"> differently...

You may want to style your header tag and format it as

<H1 class="exampleclass">Hot Domain News</H1>

Code (markup):

 

SEs look at <title>, <h1> and <h2> to identify the major theme of the page.

 

Yeah, use H1. I feel it's much better.

 

<font =""> doesn't mean anything to them whereas H1 is very important. <strong> and <b> are the same but with header tags it's a different story.

 

Everyone is giving you the correct advice.

However H1 is important only if you utilize the correct keywords in the text. Otherwise you are wasting the opportunity.

 

Can <h1> be used throughout an entire paragraph? To draw attention to certain keywords the way <b> or <strong> normally would. Or is it only used for the paragraph title?

 

IMHO H1 is more like a title, you do not want to use it for entire paragraph, however you can use style for h1 to make it looking nicer (do not try to hide anything or make text much smaller thought.... this will get you penalized very fast)

 

Use it as a HEADING. That's what <h1> and <h2> are intended for.

I wouldn't go overboard with <h1> - no more than one or two, maybe three. If you need that many headings use <h2> for some of them.
