What are Heading Tags

Heading tags are important to search engine optimization. Headings highlight and sum up what your paragraphs are about. For example the heading for this paragraph is “What are Heading Tags” and is defined as a secondary header. If you where to look at the HTML code for a heading tag it would look like <h2>What are Heading Tags</h2>.   Search engine bots look for header tags as beacons for defining content keywords and indexing the various pathways of your blog or website.

How to Effectively Use The Six Header Levers

There are six header levels that are defined by H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6. The H1 header tag is the largest font size and H6 is the smallest. The three most commonly used header tags are: H1, H2, and H3. Sometimes, H4 is used, but not too often. H5 and H6 are rarely used. Search engines give headers a greater emphasis on the larger tags (ie H1 first followed by H2 and so on).

Testimonials

“Desarae is a trust agent. I know that because when I met her in Minneapolis last year during a trip to the IABC conference, 4-5 people in the area mentioned her name. We met up at a cool little Jazz club and spent the next few hours talking about everything from business to faith to how the web is evolving. Desarae is as sharp as they come. She's had an extensive and diverse background in everything digital and has all the qualities of a natural communicator. Those skills have allowed her to build a virtual agency and make it profitable - and that's a tough business model to make work. In my mind, Des should be leading teams of people for a BIG company. She's a go getter, a diligent manager, excellent at building relationships and levels of respect and has a no BS interaction style. I'm glad to have her in my network.” August 19, 2010
