Web Marketing Strategies: Do Your Subheadings Have 'Header' Tags To Help Your Web Pages Rank Higher?


Most of you know as part of your web marketing strategies you should be taking advantage of properly using your keyword phrase in your headline. What a lot of people don't know is that their subheadings should not only contain their keyword phrase but should also be defined by the 'h2' tag.

Understanding 'Header' tags for better web page optimization. The search engines pay special attention to any 'header' which is defined in the source code of a webpage by tags such as these: h1, h2, h3, etc.

The headline of your content would be defined by the 'h1' tag, after that you want to use the 'h2' tag for any subheadings rather than just making the font type bold. Adding this technique to your web marketing strategies will give you a little extra edge when it comes to ranking higher in the search engines.

If you have a WordPress blog as part of you web marketing strategies here is a quick explanation. Inside the administrative panel of a WordPress blog in the 'Add New Post' section the HTML editor will usually only show a single line of icons starting with 'B' which will make the highlighted text bold. In order to get the icon for the function that allows you to work with the header tags you'll have to click on the last icon on the right to get a second row of icons to appear.

When you mouse over this icon you should see the words 'Kitchen Sink' pop up in a small grey box, click on that and presto! You can now see and use the other functions of the HTML editor. The icon you are looking for will show as a box with the word 'Paragraph' in the bottom row to the left. Clicking on this will give you a drop down menu which will normally show you; 'Heading 1' and 'Heading 2' etc.

A note of warning when using the 'h2' tag in your subheadings as part of your web marketing strategies! You might find it makes your subheadings too big or too small. To address this problem is beyond the scope of this article as it involves understanding source code.

Make good use of the header tags as part of your web marketing strategies. You'll find it only takes 20 to 30 seconds to do this to further optimize your webpage. That is a very short amount of time when you consider your webpage could be up on the Internet for years.
