h1-h2-h3 tags

Hi Everyone,
Was hoping to get a quick tip/advice on the use of the mentioned tags. As we all know you can control the size of the headings through CSS file, so i was curious if you all used it, or if it mattered, exactly how it was used.
For example, would it matter if I used the h2 tag in the paragraph itself or as a standalone phrase?

<h2> Widgets </h2>
<p>
<p>some paragraph stuff here talking about widgets</p>

or

<p>this paragraph talks about <h2>widgets</h2> and how to build them </p>

 

the <h> tags are heading tags.

Use them as headings, in the correct order and you cant go wrong eg
<h1>broad page topic</h1>
<h2>Sub topic</h2>
<p>text</p>
<h3>Sub sub topic</h3>
<p>text</p>
<h2>second sub topic</h2>
<p>text</p>

 

Correct, don't use h tags in content, you can however use strong and italic

 

Cool. Thanks for the quick replies.

 

I look at <h> tags like an outline:

h1 = the outline's title

h2 = I,II,III,IV, etc

h3 = A, B, C, D, etc

h4 = 1,2,3,4, etc

h5 = a,b,c,d, etc

This might be a little confusing if I'm not explaining it properly.

 

it's like title, subtitle, sub-subtitle, sub-sub-subtitle, etc.. search engines like this cause they make them "see" your page as being organized

Heading tags are not only good for search engines, they are also good for people with disabilities. If you're blind and using a screen reader, h* tags allow you to skip to different headings and bypass unnecessary reading on a page-by-page basis.

 

I've also combined <h..> tags with <b> also - try it to improve your rankings...

 

The above describes the text book usage of the H1-n tags. Go to the top seo sites including Googles and view source to see how they use these tags with other tags. This is what they call overSEOing.

Look at Misohoni's Feng Shui sites for good examples of the proper use of OverSEOing the <h1>, <h2> and <h3> tag.

Just add <b> or <strong> or...

 

css style for reset the font size and weight of h1 h2 and so on

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {font-size:100%; font-weight:normal}
