Multiple H1 tags on same page

[riyas_heych]

Hi Mozers

I have a doubt regarding H1 tags. I know H1 tags will not give some special SEO value. But is there any issue if we are using multiple H1 tags on a same page?

For example on the seomoz.org blog home page I saw 16 H1 tags (seomoz.org/blog).

Is that ok to use like that? Can I completely ignore all my worries about H1 tags?

You can have multiple H1 tags , its okay to have them

I just ran the SEO Analyzer on the Bing Webmaster Tools for our site www.camperoo.com, and it gave me the following error (see attached image). I'm not sure if you get a ding or not, but at least we know that Bing doesn't like it.

Hi Riyas, using multiple H1 tags shouldn't have any significant effects on SEO efforts. Because HTML5 uses powerful sectioning elements, it's quite common to see H1s used for each section of a page.

However headings are also used to show hierarchy, and most pages will have one clear heading that takes precedence. There are exceptions - such as blogs.

So using multiple H1s is fine, and it's not a major SEO issue (unless they're stuffed with keywords), but most of the time it's unnecessary.

Hi it is possible to have multiple H1 because several H1s depends on  your content. It is blog and every entry has its own heading so it is H1.

Read this link it will more helpful to you : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/503925/is-it-alright-to-use-multiple-h1-tags-on-the-same-page-but-style-them-different

See this site on home page it has blog links and each articles has it's own section and content that's why it has multiple H1. You can use Multiple H1 if you have different sections on your page.
