I was doing some keyword analysis on Traffic Travis and one of the stat columns is labeled H1 Tag.

What exactly is an H1 tag?

I did a search on Google but some of the definitions were kinda confusing. I thought someone here can simplify it it for me.

Thanks

  • This is your heading tag in html

    If you were to write an article or blog post, the title would be inside the <h1> tags. Not to be confused with page title which is the title in the top left hand corner of the html page.

    If you were to write an article on, for example, Psychic Dogs you'll put the blog post title in <h1> tags like this:

    Code:
    <h1>The Rise In Psychic Dogs Means You're Out Of Job Mr. Fry</h1>
    It is important for SEO reasons you have your main keywords in your <h1> tags.
  • Here's a little more in-depth explanation: HTML Headings
  • It's the HTML tag that designates the text between the tags as the "heading" or "Headline" of the page/article you are creating. The number next to the 'H' signifies how large your heading is, H1 being the largest (font) size.

    This is a really simplified explanation.... might want to read up HTML coding for a more detailed description.

    • A H1 Tag is just known as a Header marker.

      It tells the browser and more importantly robots / spiders reading HTML code that what is between the tags is of the utmost importance to this page.

      While the Title and description tags determine what the search engines show browsers the H1 tags are very important in what is known as on page optimization .

      So what you have in between the tags <h1>xx</h1> is very important to making the page rank in the SERPs.

  • HI

    H1 Tag is Header tag in HTML if you ware and write Article Title And Blog Post.
  • There are various types of heading tags H1 H2 H3 H4. H1 is the top most heading tag and search engine give importance to those text which are in H1 Tag.
  • If you want to rank your keyword in search engine then you have to work according Google guidelines. H1 tags is good for your keyword promotion. there you can highlight your primary or brand keyword.
  • h1, h2, and h3 tags can be helpful. H4 and thereafter are questionable. Depends on the content and how they are used. The first three I have the best luck with. No harm in testing them and trying them out that is for sure, as long as they are not abused or over used.
  • its heading tag and this is the most important if you are talking about the on site seo.
