Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,

I've read conflicting opinions regarding the use of meta keywords. I know Matt Cutts stated a few years ago that Google does not use them as a ranking signal but many still use them.

This raises a few questions:

1. Is there any reason to still use meta keywords?

2. Isn't it just a way to let your competitors know what you're optimizing for?

3. How do other search engines treat meta keywords?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a homepage with a carousel rotator that has text in it. My question is what's the best practice in using H1 tags within the carousel. Will placing H1 tags in each be considered excessive H1 use and if so can this still cause SEO problems?

Thank you
