Header tags for improved SEO
Another on page search engine optimization factor is the header tag. Headers can go to various levels with the highest being 1 and then continuing down through 2, 3, 4 etc.
To create a header tag in HTML use the following format:
<h1>This is a header one tag</h1>
There is an issue where the automatic format of a header one tag is to have a large font. This can mean that a long header looks rather odd on your web page. There are two ways to get around this. One way is to define the header tag with your preferred font. The following is an example that I use in www.criticalmass.biz/seo-made-easy.htm
h1 {color:#CCOOOO;font-size:24px}
You can alter the font size to whichever font you like.
A second option is to alter your CSS or cascading style sheet. This can reflect on all of your header tag formats not just the one page which is the example above.
