Not true. One recent study actually showed that h2-h6 actually influenced the rankings more than h1... I wouldn't take that to heart, but it shows that all header tags have some sort of influence.

It's actually in German, so you'll have to put it through a translator (I just use Google)... unless you know German.

Possible guidelines:
  • If you can see several headings without having to scroll, there might be too many headings (unless the body container is very wide, or text is small).
  • Perhaps the height of the paragraphs should be at least twice the height of the headings which precede them.
  • If every single paragraph has its own heading, then that would mean that each new paragraph is about something new, and therefore, no ideas or information are really being developed.

Title and H1 tags. Keep them short and use keywords. I think there very important. You can rank for not so competitive key words just with title and h1 tags optimized the correct way.

Title tags are absolutely one of the best tools we have to help end users and SE's understand what our sites are about. I would rank H1 tags next in importance for on site help for end users and SEO importance. Then for the rest of the page...using Gerry's guideline above would be good advice. Just stay in the white hat range, remember who the intended audience your writing for, and keep the quality content flowing, mixing in links to your internal pages as well.

One site I would recommend for study would be here. Have a nice day...

This is true. We have many pages with Iframed MLS data with just H1's and H2's. All rank high with just those keywords.
