    Greetings

    I was wondering how search engines see h1, h2, h3 and h4 tags if i use them
    with CSS?

    <h1 class="cheese">Rectus</h1>

    Does search engines see h1 tag there or or the CSS. If they see both does the
    CSS some how drop the value of the h1 tag?

    Thank You

    I'm unsure about this and would love to know if anyone has any experiences
    about this. The thing is that my page looks better without H tags, but the
    fact is that looks compared to traffic just don't justify forgetting them. They
    don't ruin my layout much, but little bit. So please help me out with this....

    Yeah, I'm wondering the same think, even about positioning.

    Everybody knows that if your links or keywords come first in your html they become more relevant. What about placing these elements on top of your html but moving them down using CSS?

    There is no problem with using css to style heading tags, but make sure you don't use more than one h1 per page. You also don't need to use a class if you put the tag styling in your css.

    Example:

    h1 {
    font: bold 17px arial, verdana, sans-serif;
    color:#000;
    margin:15px 0 1px 0;
    }

    There is no problem using positioning, but there can be display issues among browsers if you don't know what you are doing.
