Effective Use of Header Tags
Posted by David Wiltshire on July, 22nd 2008As you start to write the actual content of each page you create, you will have an opportunity to use header tags. Header tags essentially tell the search engines what the most important part of the page is.
You will want to take great care to make sure you are using header tags appropriately. To create a header tag, just enclose whatever phrase you choose with the following tags:
<h1>Web Design</h1>
You can also use varying levels of header tags throughout your post, changing the number from 1‐5. You will only want to use “1” once, but can use the others to varying degrees. I wouldn’t suggest getting carried away though!
You will want to make sure that you are enclosing the keywords that you want to rank for in your header tags. Are you starting to see a pattern here?
