Microsoft IIS SEO tool claims I have no H1... It's not true.
-
I have 4300 pages that the tool claims are missing the H1 value but they are there.
Here is an example: http://antiquebanknotes.com/rare-currency/first-national-bank-atlanta-illinois-2283.aspx/
Has anyone seen this before?

HI Martijn,
I used Screaming Frog and it finds the H1. I tried moving my content around on my page putting the H1 at the very top and the IIS tool found it. Sadly I can't really do that in production but at least I know what IIS dislikes.
I suspect this is a bug in the IIS tool as it doesn't seem to bother Google. Its tragedy that the IIS tool seems to be dying on the vine.

Hi Greg! Does this response help to answer your question or are you looking for more information? If you're good to go, please mark this as answered. Thanks!

It clearly has an H1 on the page. Maybe the tool can't handle the fact that the H1 has some extra attributes. I would use any other SEO scraper like ScreamingFrog to see if they're able to find the H1 on the page. Which is probably going to be the case, if so then I wouldn't worry at all about your IIS tool not seeing the H1.

Redirecting .edu subdomains to our site or taking the link, what's more valuable?
We have a relationship built through a service we offer to universities to be issued a .edu subdomain that we could redirect to our landing page relevant to that school. The other option is having a link from their website to that same page. My first question is, what would be more valuable? Can you pass domain authority by redirecting a subdomain to a subdirectory in my root domain? Or would simply passing the link equity from a page in their root domain to our page pass enough value? My second question is, if creating a subdomain with a redirect is much more valuable, what is the best process for this? Would we simply have their webmaster create the subdomain for us an have them put a 301 redirect to our page? Is this getting in the greyer hat area? Thanks guys!

How can I get the most out of uploading a print magazine to my client's website?
Hi Mozers, My client is just about to launch a print magazine for her watch business. There is so much valuable content in the magazine and we want to feature it on the website both for SEO purposes and also for those who prefer to read articles online instead of reading a physical magazine. My question is: what is the best method of displaying the magazine to get the most from search rankings and also to capitalise on the beautiful imagery from the magazine. The best option that I can think of is to upload the magazine as a flipbook and create a separate page on the website to display each article so that search engine crawlers can index the content. I do understand that this could be problematic if users are only spending time reading the flipbook and not so much time on the article pages. Do you guys have any suggestions about how to get the most out of this opportunity for my client? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. Meaghan

SEO Checklist
Ok I know that this would be a huge over-simplification but I am wondering if there is (at least a bird's eye view) a checklist of SEO do's and dont's? I checked to see if something like this existed but could not find one. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks~
