What tags (if any) should i use for Wordpress widgets? "Latest Posts," "Highest Rated Posts," etc.. And after that - what (if any) tags should i use for each link in these widgets?

EDIT: That is HEADER tags - H1-H6.

    Just make sure the tags relate to what the widgets are. There isn't just 1 way to do it, it kinda depends on what the widget is. For social widgets use "Social Media" for latest posts use "latest posts" for links use "links".

      There is no such thing as header tags. I guess one
      could technically claim it was an element, as it
      does refer to the size that follows. In fact, I
      think that would be the correct term.

      They are "headings," referring to the size of the text.

      Common mistake, but just another example of, well,
      I aint gonna say it this time.

      Unless you want to confuse search engines, and certainly
      the adsensebot if you care, you do not want to toss around
      the other sizes, h2, h3, etc. lightly. They are tip offs to
      what your page is about. Putting a plethora of anything in
      those sizes, can put the bots in a tizzy. Probably one of
      the main reasons people are not getting ranked for the
      keywords they think they should, and, getting dumb
      looking adsense ads.

        Thanks for explaining, I usually prefer being precise.

        You mean lack of knowledge? I do not have much knowledge and I don't claim that I do, if I had, I wouldn't have created this thread. Although, I bet most of those who make that mistake, simply don't care.
