    Happy Holidays!

    Alright my question is, on this page http://www.buildingblockshomedaycare.com/parents.html

    I ask what would be the best way to group the h2, h3, etc, pertaining to all the dark blue links on the page? I have already made the the top heading of (Parents) an h1.

    And does it matter at all, that all of the dark blue links on the above page are h1's on there pages once you have followed each link. So in other words, would it be a bad idea to have the same phrase an h1 on one page and an h2 or h3 on another?

    Thanks a lot!

    I don't think it would make much difference as anchor text carries a heavy weight anyway in terms of SEO.

    Try adding alt tags toy your images, a site map, and a static navigation at the bottom aswell.

    Ps. I found the tinkly menu very amusing :eek:

    If you are using flash its always better to have a site map or an alternate menu links for navigation and for indexing by search engines.

    For markup purposes, I'd put those links in a list of items in an ordered or unordered list - it's good practice. Google, Yahoo, etc. reward good practice :)

    (ie.
    <ul>
    <li><a href="/this-page/">This page</a></li>
    <li><a href="/that-page/">That page</a></li>
    </ul>

    I might be mistaken, but I didn't see a HTML navigation anywhere, only flash. It's a very good idea for SEO to have a HTML, plain text, keyword-anchored navigation somewhere - even if it's just a low profile footer. Do it on every page for best results :)

    Good luck :)
