Great article and such clarity on the H tags. Who knew it could be that simple. Wish you would have spent more time on relevancy calculations, seems to me that this would certainly put the icing on the cake. Thanks again!!

then on the html where H1, H2, H3 was in place? I am still confused about the application on the blog. Sorry, I don’t understand what you are asking. Please try to write your question more clearly. BM

why should there be only one h1-element (it’s not a tag, it’s an element)? is this a seo-thing? semantically it makes absolutely no sense, unless you mistake it as title, which is an element in it self. First of all, Harry, I learned HTML back in the days before little college boys went to learn coding from someone that had failed in the real world and had to fall back on teaching plooky little smart-asses, who don’t have the gumption to learn HTML themselves. Plooky little smart-arses that don’t even know basic English punctuation. The start of a sentence has a capital letter son! An H1 tag is a tag. It always has been a tag and if the loser that is teaching you HTML is telling you otherwise, he’s a twat! The article quite clearly tells you why you should use one H1 tag, but have a look at what W3schools says about it and stop wasting your time and mine. http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_hn.asp

Hi,

I heard you on the Jeremy Vine show and decided to look you up because you offered a straightforward, simple approach to the topic of web optimisation. Unfortunately the BBC didn’t give you enough time to get all your points across. Luckily I made a note and found you via Google (top of the page!)

Just wanted to say you might be keen to know there are a few spelling mistakes on the your pages. I don’t want to sound picky but I think you guys do a great job and I imagine you’re always looking to improve your site.

For example; at the top of the page in the paragraph under Correct Use of H1 Header Tag you missed out a letter E in the second line so it reads: Correct Us of Header Tags.

Hope you don’t mind me mentioning this. I’d be happy to sub-edit your site (that’s my profession) if you’d be happy to give me some help on a blog I want to set up about oral hygiene. Let me know if you are interested. Once again, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind words Darren and for pointing out the spelling error in the blog. Spelling errors crop up from time to time, usually because the spellchecker misses something like “us” instead of “use” - but at least we had three visitors for correct us of header tags, from other people who can’t spell “use” as well! I’ve corrected the errors now, thanks. Thanks for the kind barter offer Darren, but we’ll simply be more careful in future. The most important thing is the search engine positions and we sometimes deliberately spell a word incorrectly on a page, (once), if it is a regularly misspelt by searchers, just to pick up the positions. I realise that a page that is littered with incorrect spellings can turn potential clients away, but if you have a site and you have one mistake on the page, it’s unlikely to lose you business.
