Using H tags and its maximum Limits
-
hi..
I want to Know what is a Maximum limit of using H tags in One Page : for Eg : I Know That I Can use Only One H1 Tag per Page, What about Other H tag Limit..
h1 - 1 time Maximum
h2 - ..?
h3 - ..?
h4 - ..?
h5 - ..?
h6 - ..?
h7 - ..?
.....
i want to target more than 30 key word using H tag as a header of the paragraph... -
I am going to agree with everyone here and add that while there are not "limits" on the other H-tags, they don't hold much value anymore. Don't use this as a "tactic" to rank. Spend your time on other things specifically on building relationships in your industry.
-
There are no limits, but as it is a rule of thumb that only the first h1 will count as h1, I'm sure Google has a way to discredit any xth h2 and beyond. I would use common sense to pick the more important title tags as h2 and classify the others as h3, and h4 so that you are sure that Google gives more value to the the more important titles than not.
-
I agree, bing for example say only one H1, but for other tags there is no limit, my concern is that it sounds like you my have a problem with keyword stuffing if the page reads un-naturally.
-
There's no clear cut limit of how many heading tags you can use. As a rule of thumb, if it makes sense, use them.
Careful about placing too many however and using keywords in all of them, as Google might regard this as keyword stuffing.
-
The only limit that I'm aware of is that you shouldn't use more than one H1

Okay to have additional attributes in canonical tag?
Hello! I'm helping a Client with a platform migration from an SEO standpoint. They are working to implement canonical tags, but I've noticed that each of the ones they are implementing are including a "data-rdm" attribute: data-rdm=""> I'm not sure the Client has a way to suppress this before the launch date. Do we think this will be an issue for Google?

How to avoid duplicate title tags?
I've got roughly 1200 location pages for a travel client. Since the business does the same thing at every location, the title tags and descriptions are almost identical except for the location name. I know Google likes tags and meta descriptions to be unique, but how many different ways can I write the same title in a 55 character limit? For example, here's how the titles look: Things to do in San Jose, CA | Company Name
Web Design | | Masbro
Things to do in Dallas, TX | Company Name
Things to do in Albuquerque, NM | Company Name **My question: Are 1200 title tags structured this way unique enough for Google? ** I have got the same problem with the meta descriptions, but I can vary those a bit more because i have more characters to work with. Thanks for your input,
