Usage of header tags on a page is very critical in the sense of SEO. The header 1 tag usually called h1 tag deserve the first place among header tags. The h1 tag is used for writing the theme of the web page. Usually a well written page should have one concept. So the usage of h1 tag should be limited to one on a page.

The placement of h1 tag:

As the h1 tag is the head line of the web page we should place it on the top of the web page. All other header tags and text should follow it. In better practice there should not be any other h1 tags. The proper implementation of header tag is as follows.

Note: Please ignore the character "|" on the tag placements.

<|h1|>Header tag: How much important in seo<|/h1|>

The complete post on the page is oriented on the topic "importance of h1 tag ". The next important titles (sub titles)should be placed under h2 tag. Irrespective of h1 tags, h2 tags can be used multiple times on a page. The implementation of h2 tag is as follows.

<|h2|> when we use h1 tag<|/h2|>

The other header tags like h3,h4,h5 and h6 are using for less important headings.



The weight given by search engines to the header tag:


Search Engines gives more weight to the text in h1 tag than all other text in the page. So the improper usage of h1 tag or multiple h1 tags on a single page leads to google penalty. The next preference goes to h2 tags on a page and it is treated as the sub headings on the article. The page headings structure I prefer is demonstrated below.


h1 tag [ Post title]


1. h2 tag [sub title]

1.1 h3 tag [important point]

2. h2 tag [next sub title]

2.1 h3 tag

2.2 h3 tag
