USE
HEADER TAGS CORRECTLY.
Using header
tags to help format your text seems easy, and it is, but avoid
doing it! Search engines give priority to text inside of header
tags when determining the content of your site. If you do this:
For
a limited time only, so <h1> hurry! </h1>
Search engines
will think that your site is all about hurry. That will make your
site difficult to find. Instead say:
For
a limited time only, so <strong><font size=+1> hurry!
</strong></font>
Only headings
should be in header tags. If your heading is a bitmap, you still
want to use a header tag around it, like this:
<h1>
<img src="logo.gif" width=300 height=100 alt="Ben's used
car sales"></h1>
The search
engines will look at the alt text and learn that your site is
about used cars.
One more
thing. Always use H1 to mark your primary headers H2 for your
next level of header etc. Don't skip from H1 to H3 to get smaller
sub headings. Instead do something like this
<h2><font
size=+1><b>Why buy from Ben?</b></font></h2>
