Genesis WP Theme H1 Tag not properly Used?

[Zachary_Russell]

I am in the process of redesigning my website, and I have been working on the Genesis framework a lot lately, so I used the Genesis framework to make my new site.

The URL is http://protechig.com

As I look at the H1 on the page (homepage only, every other page has solid h1s from an SEO perspective.) The first thing that I see is that the home page H1 is a links (to protech's home page). The second thing that I see is the the title text is replaced with an image (my logo) and there is a text-indent:-99999; and overflow:hiden; I just want to know from an SEO perspective if this is okay, and, if it isn't, what I could/should to to rectify it.

Thanks

Sounds like sloppy development to me... the -99999 and overflow:hidden looks concerning because throwing text off the screen is a common practice by spammers.

While I'm not a developer, I don't think any of my sites' logo has ever been coded as a H1. The H1's are always within the body tag. The logo should just be an image.

I would recommend comparing your source code to other websites, any website. It doesn't need to be the Genesis theme to be comparable. You just need to see how other sites are structuring their HTML.

Does that help?
