Header (H) tags and SEO

[Sathish]

Hi

Always format content titles using header tags ( H1, H2, H3 ) while doing the HTML
While doing HTML,all headings or titles should be given inside H tags

Importance of header tags in SEO
Header tags are HTML tags that help outlines a web page or draw attention to important information.
Keywords located inside header tags can provide a rankings boost in the search engines. Keywords in header tags are much like the headlines on a news paper.
Using Header tags will tell the search engine what words are important in the context of your page.

Consider <h1>, <h2>, <h3>...<h6> to be the way that you highlight important keywords by giving most important headings in <h1> and least important in <h6>

E.g. <h1>most important heading</h1>
<h6>least important heading</h6>

Header tags are an effective way to communicate to the search engines and readers what a page is about. They convey the importance of the text inside of the header tag.
The major mistake most webmasters make is creating the header of the website using the <h1> or <h2> tag. When this occurs, the header tags do not change from page to page making it irrelevant. If you want to use text in your header, you can easily format a div or paragraph to look like an <h1> tag with very little difficulty.
