H1 tag question
-
I am currently going through the process of optimizing my pages for my given keywords. Most of my pages are receiving an A grading from the Moz page checker, with keywords being found in all elements expect for the H1 tag.
For certain pages I have not used a H1 tag, the pages title has been incorporated into the image on the top of the page. This is difficult to explain without showing you so i will use one of my pages to explain, the page is http://www.ecobode.co.uk/garden-uses-3/garden-gym/.
The keyword for this page is garden gym, it is found multiple times in the content, URL and other on page elements expect for the H1 tag as I don't have one. The title resides in the image, I know how important H1 tags are but I don't know how I can incorporate into this page.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can incorporate the H1 tag into this page?
Kind Regards,
Tom

Well, the H1 is 'normally' towards the top of the page, but as there is an image towards the top, there is no reason why not. Just try and keep to H1 then H2, etc., and keep it ordered. That said, its not as much of an issue these days as it once was - Google has bigger factors that help with ranking.

Thanks Andy.
Finally would it be acceptable to put a H1 above the second body of text rather than it being on the top of the page?

Very unethical. And your H1 doesn't need to just be the same as what is already there - it can be a sentence explaining the page. I wouldn't advise making the page use the same words / phrases all over. Try going for some synonyms for extra punch.

Its difficult to put a h1 tag saying the exact same thing as the banner in the image without it looking strange. Putting a h1 tag above the image but in white would be considered unethical wouldn't it?
-
I really wouldn't try and do that Tom. You could quite easily get a H1 tagline below the menu with a bit of playing around. It wouldn't look bad either - or at least there is no reason it should.
Create your pages in an ethical manner and try not to get on the bad side of Google

Thanks for the reply's!
I am currently web optimizing my images for a faster load time. In regards to adding a title in above the image, I am having trouble finding a solution where this doesn't look stupid (so to speak). I am considering hiding the H1 tag but I know this is poor practice as I cant imagine google approving of this trickery! Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Kind Regards,

I would be looking to introduce a heading for each page. You don't want to tag images with an H1 really. This doesn't really serve any purpose.
I would get a title in above the image on the right that you can attribute the H1 to - I would also look at how big these images are as I was finding them very slow to load.

If your title is incorporated in an image (not the recommended) what you can do is wrap the image tag in an H1, and provide an ALT description.
You could also hide the H1 under the image, but I am not sure if that could possibly trigger some flags by search engines.

My Question How to check why our DA is gradually dropping
Hi everyone, Moz Community, I asking a question here so kind of excited to be part of the community. I hired an SEO firm about three months ago. They have arranged high ranking DA guest posts for my website Bagcottage as well as many other small low DA links. None of these links have any kind of a spam score. However, for the past two months, they have been helping, our website's DA has actually dropped by one point each month. Is this cause for concern? Any thoughts on how I can trace the drop? On a side-note, out of the 700+ keywords that didn't were ranking in the top 50, about 200 of them now are gone compared to last month. I don't know if this is related or not, but something looks awry. By Fazle Wadood Safi fazlewadood1987@gmail.com https://bagcottage.com

Traffic from Google analytics compared to traffic in Moz, quick question.....
When I look at the campaign for my website in MOZ it shows me my 'organic search visits' are radically different than when I look at Google analytics. In Moz I have 10 visits the week of 10/24 but using 'visits' in Google analytics I have 320 visits the same week. In Moz I have 20 visits the week of 11/1 (following the gold total line) but according to Google I have almost 500 visits that week. I just totally redid my site (www.sawwebmarketing.com) and posted a bunch of new content and looking to see what it did to my traffic and according to Google my visits have fallen dramatically but according to Moz my 'organic search visits' have multiplied by 6. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Matthew

Question about a dramatic decrease in domain authority.
My personal website http://Bsalva.com has started to drop in both page authority and domain authority. This seems to be largely due to open site explorer not picking up all of my inbound links. Right now it says I only have one linking root domain, but I know this to be crap. I have quite a few followed links from well trusted and reputable sites. My page rank typically bounces between a 5 and 6. I should also have hundreds of inbound links. The other sites In my campaign monitor haven't taken such a hit so I'm starting to get a little worried. Does anyone know what might cause incoming links to not me recognized? they were just fine last month, and I can go find them on the web as we speak.

Authority On Authority Question
Hi, What does it mean when seomoz shows our domain authority as 43, but our homepage authority as 52 or higher? More recently, the two used to be roughly comparable at around 52. Maybe it doesn't matter, but it did change and it makes me curious. Thanks!
