Does anyone have a good solution for the way most wordpress themes treat h1 tags? Standard SEO practices say that you should have 1 h1 tag per page and it should be the primary keyword for that page. I'm just getting into wordpress and the problem I see is that most theme's wrap the blog title in the h1 tag on each page and will put the title in h2 tags. Anyone know a quick fix to deal with this?
not sure what your asking... The way that it should be set up is as follows: <h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1> that is placed in the header, which is standard on each page, so It doesn't account for the rest of the content on each individual page.
MrKushhy - Right, that is the default code for most wordpress themes. What I'm saying is that it is not a good setup for seo to do it that way. In effect, you are wasting the authority of your h1 tag for seo with the exception of probably the home page if your blog title is one of your primary keywords. The h1 tag should include your most important keywords on each page. Is there an easy coding fix to remedy this in wp? I'm not a coder so I don't know.
ahh gotcha. I was a bit confused before... I cant think of anything off hand, but with some wp SEO plug ins you can set what h# tags you want seos as "headers" so you'll have the option of selecting <h2>,h3,ect
