it is clear that some of you people have very little knowlege of HTML programming lol, some of this advice is rediculous jus tlike my speling ROFL.

Once again, the main headline will need an "h1" code to give it the greatest importance. The main sub-headings, which are numbers one, two, and so on deserve an "h2" showing they are next in line when it comes to importance. The "h3" can be given to sub-headings under the main sub-headings.

that isnt necesarily wrong, just not the best way to say it. They are not just for headers, its the info on the page, yes H1 should encapsulate the the heading of the page, which should also be the title of the page, preferably. but the H2 and H3 tags can be for things that are not headings.

<H1>1st Business Heading</H1>
<H2>relevant information</H2>
<H3>keywords</H3>

Not heading 1 heading 2 heading 3.

Just because the words are Heading 1 up to Heading 6, doesnt mean they are used only for headings. Just imagine it is I1-I6, important 1 = very, important 6 = less important but still more important than the normal content on the page.

Ultimatly each page should be about one thing.

Where do you get this shit from honestly.

You cant do this
<H1 style=not-so-big-words> TEXT </H1>
Or this
<H1><Font Size="2">Text</Font></H2>
or this
<h1><a href="linkthatyouthinkisimportant.htm">AnchorText</a></H1>
The way to do it is this.

Make sure you are using a style sheet, and FFS, not a list of styles in the header, but an auctual seperate file, in your images directory. Then put this into the stylesheet.css file

h1 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
FONT-SIZE: 8pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify
}
h2 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
FONT-SIZE: 8pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify
}
h3 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
FONT-SIZE: 8pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify
}

And just change what ever you want. The styles are applied by the browser to text as the pages load, a spider doesnt use Internet Explorer 7 with secruity enchancements to browse your site, so it wont know a style is being applied to the H1 text.

Also,

you can only use one H1, H2 and H3 header per page. and it has to appear between the body tags of your page.

Also,

If you have a set of H1 and H3 tags, you might as well have no H1 tags. They work in order, must go H1, H2, H3, and they have to be lower on the page than the one before it, so it cant go

H1
H3
H2

thats just dumb lol.

Thanks

I meant what has been said by you to give relavance to the page you need to break up your h1 to h3 however it could be any thing your title , your topic or your keywords. the relavance goes in the form of h1 to h3.

thanks again for explaining further
