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.

Drupal 8 tags and categories cause duplicate content shown in MOZ
Hi all, There is something difficult to trace that is causing duplicate content that is related to categories and tags i.e. https://example.com/contact Associated Pages https://example.com/tags/business https://example.com/taxonomy/term/41 example 2 https://example.com/category/example-category-1 Associated Pages https://example.com/category/occupiers-liability example 3 https://example.com/tags/test https://example.com/tags/test-2 Above two pages display same content (maybe due to similar posts feature) My question here is: Is this caused by Drupal website misconfiguration (or one of its modules) since website uses similar posts feature or it's something else. Duplicate content for example.com/index.php issue has been solved by redirects. Should something similar be done in case of tags / categories? Any discussion / suggestions on that matter are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Stupid question: why SEOMOz has become MOZ?
According to their On-Page Report Card the URL should include the main keyword i.e. SEO in their case, so why do they get an F grade If I check their main page www.moz.com for the keyword SEO? Thanks for your comments!

I am trying to find inbound links for one of my site urls. My question is does SEOMoz able to track all internal links as the Open Site Explorer shows 0 internal links?
It shows 0 internal links when I am pretty sure we have multiple internal links.Should we use absolute urls or relative urls for internal links?

Not really a question.
Hello Mozzers, I just logged into my account and after what has felt like a few months of on site work I finally see ZERO errors across the board for my main campaign with SEO Moz! I just wanted to share that with everyone because at one point above the errors were in the 5,000 range. It was causing penalties and weight in serps, but now thanks to SEO Moz and the help that I have received in the Q&A section, I have corrected all the errors! So, thank you to SEOMOZ and the pro community very very much!!! As a discussion though, how are the errors with most other users? Are you typically always seeing no errors, a few errors or a lot of errors for your campaigns? Thanks! Jesse
