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;">

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...

Does anyone have data on the effect of multiple H1 tags on a page?
One of my website's sub-domains is fed information from a job board master-template, thus my site (and hundreds of other sites) is just branded styling pulling from one external source. Because of the way this master template is set up (not very concerned with SEO best practices), I have found the need to hide the H1 coming from the master template, and display a new separate H1 in my styling. This is being done with user-experience in mind, but how will search engines respond to having two H1s (one hidden, one visible) on a page? I understand that a single H1 is usually ideal, and hidden page components are typically frowned upon because they don't add user value... but in this case, the hidden component is solely for the benefit of the user. I would like to find the best balance of SEO and UX, so I am very interested in any experimental data or case studies on a similar situation.

Using More Info javascript:toggleDisplay tag for More info text
Is there any harm in using javascript so a user can "toggle" open or closed additional text on a website? For example, if a user wants to read more about something, they can click on "More Info" and the text would then appear. Google is able to read the text, because I chose a random 8 word section of the text within the More Info and pasted it into a Google Search and the website showed up in search results. Just wondering if using this technique would have any negative impact. Here's what the code would look like:
Web Design | | EEE3
<a <span="">title</a><a <span="">="Show Tables" href="</a><a class=" " target="_blank">javascript:toggleDisplay('table1')</a>">More Info style="display: none;" id="table1"> this is where the text would be, and from this section was where I grabbed text to search with in google. Then in the footer, here is the script needed so the more info will work: I am by no means an expert in coding/html/javascript. Thanks!0 -
H1 tag optimization question
Hey folks, I've got a question about h1 coding. Our H1 tags are currently coded like this: [http://www.rapitup.com/mf-doom](<a href=)" class=" current">MF Doom Do you think this would be better? [http://www.rapitup.com/mf-doom](<a href=)" class=" current"> MF Doom My guess is that the second example would be better, and even if not better we know it's not worse. Thoughts? Thanks!

Missing Meta Description Tag - Wordpress Tag
I am going through my crawl diagonostics issues and I have lots of "Missing Meta Description Tags". However when I look at the url's they are Wordpress Tags, which do not have a meta description. Shall I just ignore these errors or should I find a way to add a meta description? Is it important?
