Will a penalty be applied if you skip H1 and go straight to H2?

IMO the only newness could be the info about H1 vs H2-H6 tags.

Yep I would agree! But it help those with less experience.

I've actually known about the H1 tag theory for a while but wasn't too convinced by it.

The reasoning behind the theory is that people always spam their H1 tags, whereas H2-H6 are more accurate and natural.

I think the study means not to stop using H1 tags but to also use your H2 - H6 tags and occasionally drop in your keywords or related keywords (but don't over do it - keep it natural.

I just got emailed this... looks pretty interesting.
Most of it just reaffirms what I know but the bit about H2 - H6 tags I wasn't aware of.

----------------------------

Sistrix analyzed the influence of the following web page elements: web page title, web page body, headline tags, bold and strong tags, image file names, images alt text, domain name, path, parameters, file size, inbound links and PageRank.

* Keywords in the title tag seem to be important for high rankings on Google. It is also important that the targeted keywords are mentioned in the body tag, although the title tag seems to be more important.

* Keywords in H2-H6 headline tags seem to have an influence on the rankings while keywords in H1 headline tags don't seem to have an effect.

* Using keywords in bold or strong tags seems to have a slight effect on the top rankings. Web pages that used the keywords in image file names often had higher rankings. The same seems to be true for keywords in image alt attributes.

* Websites that use the targeted keyword in the domain name often had high rankings. It might be that these sites get many inbound links with the domain name as the link text.

* Keywords in the file path don't seem to have a positive effect on the Google rankings of the analyzed web sites. Web pages that use very few parameters in the URL (?id=123, etc.) or no parameters at all tend to get higher rankings than URLs that contain many parameters.

* The file size doesn't seem to influence the ranking of a web page on Google although smaller sites tend to have slightly higher rankings.

* It's no surprise that the number of inbound links and the PageRank had a large influence on the page rankings on Google. The top result on Google has usually about four times as many links as result number 11.

so using site.com/this-is-an-article.html is not as effective as site.com/index.html?q=3.

That seems wrong.
