H1 Tags with Location
-
Hi Everyone,
I have a question about trying to get location information into title tags without having it look spammy. What I've been trying is something like this:
h1 { font-size:18px; }
.h1_sub { font-size:10px; }

I'm not sure if that is a good thing to do or not as everything is inside the h1 tag and visible to the engines however it makes it less prominent on the page and gives a better layout. You can see it at www.mltgroup.com/company.php
Thanks

Cufon is a font sifr used to emulate non-web safe fonts on the web. All of these classes and span wrapped around the H1 are being added on page load. If you actually review the source code you can see that is not what the search engines would see when crawling the page.
In regards to stuffing content into the H1, i wouldn't stress over it to much. As long as your targeted keywords show up in the title/meta and a few times on the page you will be all set. Cater your site to the user not the search engines.
Good luck!

This is how your h1 looks like:
<h1>
<cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Why " style="width: 41px; height: 22px;"><canvas width="54" height="21" style="width: 54px; height: 21px; top: 1px; left: 0px;">canvas><cufontext>cufon><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Choose " style="width: 66px; height: 22px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="MLT " style="width: 41px; height: 22px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Group " style="width: 54px; height: 22px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="- " style="width: 14px; height: 22px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Creative " style="width: 72px; height: 22px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Solutions" style="width: 75px; height: 22px;"><br><span class="h1_sub"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Minnesota " style="width: 60px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Advertising " style="width: 64px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Agency " style="width: 44px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="| " style="width: 7px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Minneapolis " style="width: 69px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Marketing " style="width: 59px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Firm" style="width: 25px; height: 14px;">span>h1>I suggest going for:<title>Web Design Minnessota | Web Development Minnessota</title># Minnessota based web design & web development agency then start your paragraph with Our web design & development agency is based in Minnessota...I still don't know the main keyword you are targeting :)Just an idea... you can create your own variations... just make h1 => TEXTand not <cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Choose " style="width: 66px; height: 22px;">

Multiple H1 Tags for different section on one webpage in HTML5 Website? Should I have only one?
https://www.tcs.com website has multiple H1 tag on around 40 out of 1000 pages. Webpage has different section and each section is important that's why used multiple H1 tag (one h1 for each section) **I understand, google will not penalize for multiple H1. But having multiple H1, for site like tcs, is it good or should use only one H1 tag? **Pls check https://www.tcs.com to see heading tag(6 heading tag used).

Questions in regard to putting 2-3 keywords in a title tag.
Hi all, Here is the situation. There are two services A and B in the page. B is more like a complement to A (they have something in common). C is the umbrella term over A and B. However, our company focuses more on A (70%) than B (30%). Questions: 1. Can I rank the keyword A for the page, while the page has B? (e.g. A | brand name) Will it hurt the seo, with B being in the page? 2. If I write the title tag this way: A | B | brand name . Will A and B dilute each other? 3. How about this: **A | C | brand name **(the idea behind this: We focus on A, but also include C because we have B in the page.) Does this make any sense? I am a newbie to SEO and I realize that could be confusing. Thank you for any support and explanation.

Auto - update of h1 to h2
Hi, I have recently inherited an ecommerce website and been tasked with improving SEO. I noticed a lot of pages were using several h1 tags and, with the help of my developer, used the css to overwrite the secondary headings as h2 tags. However, since doing so many of the pages have fallen 15-40 places in the SERPS. The h1 / h2 switch was the only update. Can anyone suggest why the pages would have fallen like this, and if it is a temporary measure likely to recover in time? Thanks to anyone in advance for your help...

Duplicate Title Issues using # anchor tags
Our homepage navigation uses anchor tags (?TabNumb=1#, ?TabNumb=1# etc) rather than directly linking to different pages to decrease load time (and simplify the build process I owuld imagine). These anchor links are showing up as duplicate titles in Moz. I am pretty sure if I were to use noindex or rel tags, that could have a negative affect on my search results. Any way to tackle this outside of a complete redesign of the structure? http://www.dedoose.com/about-us/?TabNum=2# as an example

H1 Tag, necessary or not? Hidden or not?
Our new site design utilizes H1 tags on all pages except the home page. We couldn't find a way to work it into the design. That being said, what's the opinion on necessity? Do we need an H1? If we do the image replacement thing, will that be better for SEO than none at all? Our old site had one and once we changed it to the term we wanted to optimize for we made the top 10 in less than 60 days. We don't want to lose that placement. Thoughts? You input is very much appreciated.
