<h1> to <h6> is there a different

Is there a different between <h1> and <h6> when i comes to SEO
i cant use <h1> because its too big and it doesnt fit in my site
so for my site im using <h5> and <h6>
will that make make a difference when it comes to SEO

 

What do you mean? Is it the font size that you're talking about? You can reduce the size of the <h1> by using this code:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

H1 {font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: 000000}

</STYLE>

Just set the size to your specifications.

 

oh thanks didnt know that
but when it comes to google seo will it make a difference if i use <h5> rather then <h1>

 

Well H1 is more important than H6

 

It makes a different because H1 is seen as more important than H6. When a search engine sees an H1 tag, it interprets it as, "hey, this is important information." You should include your keywords in your H1 tags for even better SEO results.

 

There's a reason why you rank them from 1 - 6

 

ok thanks i guess i have re edit my site

 

as far as site structure goes, how you use the H1 tags are very important.

Make sure you only use 1 H1 tag on the site, it should always come before the h2, h2 before h3, and so on.

 

Read a report recently that google was giving more weight to H2 than H1 tags to avoid spam!

 

Yes, I've read too that H1 is not considered important now. So I'm using only H2..H5

 

will 2 H1 tags really hurt me? Say there are 2 phrases I am trying to optimize for will I get penalized if i do something like <h1>Phrase 1</h1> - <h1>Phrase 2</h1> or do you recommend just putting both phrases wrapped around 1 h1 tag?

 

I recommend:
<h2>phrase1 - phrase2</h2>

or

<h2>phrase1</h2>
content long enough
<h2>phrase2</h2>

 

thanks for your feedback, its most appreciated as I am running out of ideas for SEO on my site...
