<h1> and <strong> tags

georgekalathil

Hi all,
I have a doubt regarding the use of <strong> and <h1> tags. I have a site which has around 50 pages and in all the pages the heading is implemented using the <strong> tag. The site doesn't have a singe <h1> tag. Is there any harm in this, when SEO is considered. Or shall I replace <strong> with <h1>

I think <h1> is stronger than <strong> in terms of SEO, but also using <strong> for headings is not using to web standards.

Search engines need to know whats what on your website. Then you have to tell them. Mark headings with <h1>, <h2>, etc. NOT <strong>! And you shouldn't use <h1> etc on text that aren't headings.

By the way, remember that a normal page would have only one <h1>. Smile

Use semantic markup (structure each part of the page with the proper tags) and your site will be loved by the SE sites. Smile
