Sorry for the stupid question, but I notice Morgan talks a lot about the importance of have the right words or title in H1 or H2. What exactly does this mean what is the relevance of it?

[REW Reed]

The H tags are heading tags that format your text into headings. H1 is the most prominent (largest), H2 the second, and so forth. If Morgan is saying that you need to mind the content of each heading tag, it's probably a good idea. What he is essentially saying is that the search engines look to these tags for relevant meaning for SEO. Don't fill them with junk, essentially.

Any suggestions on the proper/right use for heading tags?

Strange I was just searching for this very subject tonight when I read this thread.

One thing that seems to stand out in all the blogs I manage or personally own is that google, msn, and yahoo seem to enjoy the H1 - H3 tags that are similar in word content to the title tag.

I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

My experience -- it does not matter. Content matters and that is the bottom line.

You're right. Content that when read sounds normal and credible because there is no overuse of keywords.

It is important to note that you should never have too many "H" tags on a single page. "H1" and "H2" are always good ones to use. Just be careful, if you are going to use any more beyond that.

That's incorrect. You can use as many H tags as you would like, and as make sense. Use them properly, as you would order an outline.

What cyberprofit meant to say is, "don't overuse an H1 tag." The title of your page should be an H1, headings wrapped in H2s, subheadings wrapped in H3s, etc... The main text should be wrapped in p tags. Use common sense.
