My Article Post Title in both the h1 and the h2 are the same. Is this good seo?
-
I'm seeing a common practice in wordpress themes where the h1 tag for a page has the logo in it, then the h2 would be the title to the article.
I've decided to place the title in the h1 dynamically, like this:
- Joe's Auto Store
where '' is the actual title to the post - the logo is still being used as a background image in the h1...
So for example, the page would show this:
How install a car battery - Joe's Auto Store
I think this is good seo still, but the other issue is that the first, subsequent
also has the exact same title because this is the actual post title, which uses the first h2 on the page to display the title. So the code would look like this:
- My Company
paragraph content text stuff
an example would be
How install a car battery - Joe's Auto Store
How install a car battery
At Joe's we teach how to install batteries on site. There are mor...(etc.)
Is this an issue since the post title in both the h1 and h2 are nearly the same (except for the company name)? Is this good seo still?

OK - so with that philosophy, should you keep h1 - h4 to the content areas, but leave h5 and h6 to places such as sidebars?
I'm guessing in this way, main content remains the focal point semantically while the sidebar should score less importantly...

I wouldn't stress about the
tag, it's not that big of a ranking factor, if at all. As long as you aren't overusing your keywords to the point of spamminess, having the same
and
tag should not be a problem.

I would say no, the H2 is purposefully for setting out something else on the page e.g. a H1 might be 'Dog Leads' and the H2 might be 'Leather Dog Leads'. Also why waste the opportunity to help the page rank for something a bit different, in the above case 'leather dog leads'? I cant imagine why anyone would want to SEO a page for just 1 keyword.
To use your exact example above I would do something like:
How to install a car battery - Joe's Auto Store
Car battery installation
I dont think having the same h1 & h2 because it makes automation of your tags easier a great reason to do this. If that is your reason, then presumably it will happen right throughout the site and you will have the h1 & h2 replicating itself 100s of times which looks very spammy.

Is Removing Breadcrumbs Detrimental for SEO?
We have full navigational breadcrumbs on our site for the menu and the brand menu. i.e. Home > Clothing > Jackets Brand > Brand Name > Brand Jackets There's been talk of removing this and having it like Chico's does, where on item pages they just have a link at the top to previous category (i.e. you're on a shirt product page and at the top it says "Back to Tops" instead of listing Home > Clothing > Tops) Is doing something like this detrimental to SEO? From what I've read Breadcrumbs are for user experience but I just want to be sure.

However, I am thinking this may HURT my SEO given that it is taking away a back link to my website. Is that logic correct ? If so, what is a good way to be able to track clicks if a website posts your article without jeopardizing the SEO value?

Duplicate Page Titles
I had an issue where I was getting duplicate page titles for my index file. The following URLs were being viewed as duplicates: www.calusacrossinganimalhospital.com www.calusacrossinganimalhospital.com/index.html www.calusacrossinganimalhospital.com/ I tried many solutions, and came across the rel="canonical". So i placed the the following in my index.html: I did a crawl, and it seemed to correct the duplicate content. Now I have a new message, and just want to verify if this is bad for search engines, or if it is normal. Please view the attached image. i9G89.png
