Blog SEO Tips: #1 – Heading Tags (h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)
Welcome to our new idea, but not so new to the blogging community. The Benzing Technologies Blog SEO Series where we will post SEO Tips, Tricks,
and Hacks for your blog. I have spent countless hours researching the best possible methods of gaining more search engine exposure just by optimizing, integrating and modifying certain parts of the blog. So lets get started with Tip #1.Heading tags (H1 through to H6) are given more weight by search engines than regular body copy. So they should be used wisely to reinforce the page’s overall keyword theme. The posting date should never be within an H1 tag, because you’re NOT trying to rank well in the engines for a date. Instead, wrap an H1 tag around your category name or tag name on your category page or tag page, respectively. Then make the titles of your blog posts H2 tags, so that on a category or tag page, the category/tag words can be the only H1 on the page and thus can convey greater emphasis than the post titles.
You could even take this idea a step further and make the post title display within an H1 tag if it’s a Sticky post, and within an H2 if a normal post.
