H1 Tags Improve Search Engine Placement

Effective search engine optimization involves many factors. Ranking highest in importance is providing informative content with proper page layout and programming. Much consideration should be made to your proper use of heading tags. A good example of the h1 tag is the heading of this paragraph. It is used to define the content of the page, and for proper document layout. Whether is it a Web page or a newspaper, every written article should have a proper heading. On the Internet, we use the h1 tag. Examples of h1 usage are given below.

Let’s examine the importance of h1 tags and how they are viewed by search engines.

Note: Heading tags represent only a small portion of search engine optimization and Website usability. There is a reason that dentists do root canals and that Internet marketers do Websites.

Regardless how interactive, fun, or visually captivating your site is, if it is not seen, it will not benefit you. Using heading tags, I will show you a way to keep the appearance of your site pleasing, while better defining your Website content for visitors, including search engines.

Allow me to note that most of what is included in search engines is put there by a computer, known as a “robot”, “spider”, or “crawler”. These are computers that use what you tell them to build a database of relevant information to serve out to the people requesting it. If you tell them the wrong things, or don’t tell them the right things, they will not give you the results you are looking for.
