Header and subheader, should they be about the same?

    Hello!
    I have a short SEO question. Lets say im building a website about dogs. I want to qualify for the keyword "fake dog balls". At the index of this guide about fake dog balls, should the h1 (main header) be "Fake Dog Balls", and to show the search engines that the content really is relevant to the keywords "fake", "dog", "balls", could the h2 header be "All about fake dog balls"?

    Or is that considered spamming or something? Should I make the h1 and h2 look alike, and make both include my keywords, or shall I make the h2 header something else?

    Thanks for your help, and appologize for my bad humor ;)

    Regards,
    Kalle :)

    well its always a best practise to use h1 only one time on the page. you can use h2 tag more then one time on the page. now for the text - you can use - h1 - "fake dog balls" & h2 - "All about fake dog balls"

    just make sure your copy makes sense to human visitors, I've seen many sites overly SEO'd and the copy made no sense and wasn't fluent when read.

    But can I make it like:

    Header: Fake dog balls
    Subeheader1: What is fake dog balls?
    Subheader2: History of fake dog balls
    Subheader3: Where do you buy fake dog balls?

    And repeat the keywords lots of times, but still keep it so it makes sense to the reader. And make some <i>/<b>/<u> tags around the "fake dog balls" somewhere in the text so the searchengine understands that the content really is about fake dog balls?

    The next thing you should do is to think of how to attract relevant inbound links :)

    Have your main search phrase as the header and lesser phrases as subheaders i.e.

    Header - widgets

    Sub-header - widgets for sale
