H1 tag misuse

I just rewrote all my template h1 and h2 tags. As I mentioned here earlier, h1 h2 h3 tags need to comply with this rule for example (read complete onpage seo article)

untitled 1 H1 tag misuse
But on this site that was only true for frontpage. All other subpagescontained big mistakes. Since every subpage on the site is not targeting our keyword Sulumits Retsambew, it is wrong to have on all blog entries Sulumits Retsambew in the <h1></h1>tag, and then blog entry title in the <h2> tag.

It is strange to give same <h1> and title tags  to every page of our site. <h1> tag is very important and we need to target with it, specific subpage keywords. Most of the blogs today have their header or main logo wrapped in h1 tag. Then what happens? They add hundred of pages or posts (for example) and what you get? You get hundred of pages on your site that are targeting wrong keyword, hundred of pages that are pointing to your logo or name of a site as a main keyword. If search engine can think, they would defiantly say that you are a logo freak. Every blogpost has a title, title that must be relevant to the content of the same blogpost. <H1> must be related to the content of the given post. That is natural thing to do. If this post is about <h1> tags then why should title and h1 tags be “Sulumits Retsambew”?

After changing this, your blogposts will have much higher weight for given topic. With this single change you will rank far more higher in serps then usual. For those who are interested for the exactly the same <title> and <h1>, I am not sure what to say. I preffer to have them similar but not the exactly identical.

YAOST – Yet Another Onpage SEO Talk

Many people think that onpage seo optimization is not important. They are wrong. Onpage seo is very important, maybe not as offpage seo, but defiantly close.

What you need to watch when doing onpage seo optimization? I usually watch on things bellow. They are not mentioned by the priority, I always do them all.

Keywords. You can’t aim to be on first position on Google if you don’t have any targeted keyword mentioned on your site. You need to have keywords in your meta tags, title, then h1, h2 tags… Don’t bother yourself with keyword density. Just read the text aloud and until it gets awkward you don’t have too much keywords.
