Thread: Importance of the H1 tag

The heading of a website describes the topic of page that it introduces, this tags are important contributing elements to a site optimization. The H1, H2 to H6 tags are used to mark up headings on the page, the H1refers to the most important head lines, then H2, then H3 and so on..


H1 tag is not use for only the search engines, but for the human traffic by pointing out a heading, which describes a page or a page section. Web search engines usually use heading as the basis of their bots. The h1 tag signifies that it is an important part of the site therefore making it fairly visible as a resource for the keyword that was used.


H1 tags should be used once on a site and should be for the page title, with the other headers making sub headings.


H1 is useful for SEO as they help weigh importance on what the page is about.

h1 tags are use for main keyword crawling.

Heading tags represent only a small portion of SEO and Website usability. While it helps in crawling............

You should use them for what they should be used for- the main heading on the site, what this page is about. H1 tags also should only be used once on a site really, with the other headers making sub headings. They can be useful in SEO because they help weigh importance on what the page is about. Nothing more.

If I recall correctly, googlebots used to use H1 tags to weigh the "importance" of text on a page - so they were, at one point, perceived as beneficial from an SEO standpoint. However, when google saw that webmasters were abusing H1 tags to emphasize keywords and manipulate search rankings, they stopped using them as a ranking influence. Nowadays, all an H1 tag does is tell Google that you are using a heading. It has no impact on how your site will rank.

Hi,
I agreed with the point that H1 tags are very beneficial because they make your website as "Crawler friendly" and helps us to find out important words (i.e. keyword) of the website and place them at the right place according to the category while searching.

H1 tag helps search engine spiders to crawl your titles properly for better ranking in search engine.

HI tag is one of the powerful element in on site seo, but not should Heading 1 tag twice in any page for keywords.

H tag part of on page optimization. Use H tag for search engines as well as users.

H1 tag means for "Page header" and it must contain a few words about what's the page about. I think that putting your keywords in the H1 tag helps your page be listed better in Google.
