Hey fellows,

i am currently trying to rank a client's site which shows the following code instead of the HTML-H1-Headings i am used to for good onpage SEO:

<div class="main_heading">...</div>

Would you recommend to change the code, or is Google able to interprete this code correctly as a heading and wheigh it accordingly?

Just curious...

Have a great day!

    Nothing to worry div tag also a part of Search Engine Algorithm which will help you rank in search engine.

    Post above mine doesn't make sense, yes google can read divs, but can it detect that it is a heading...

    I really don't know myself, but div tags are notthe ideal solution for every heading, I would definitely be changing these to h tags to tighten the onpage seo.

    Cheers,
    Dave!

    Thanks, John and Dave!

    I will have to research, if there is a way to combine h-Tags and div-Tags... My coding skills are limited, yet.

    Maybe i will simply try to add the h1-Tag inside the div-class "main_heading"...

    Will see.
