What are H1, H2 & so on in web design?

[Harry]

Sorry for the stupid question, but I notice that we talk about 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? I’m trying to build my own web site but don’t have much experience in the field.

H1 to H6 is Header, this is for the size and font weight.

The H tags are heading tags that format your text into headings. H1 is the most prominent (largest), H2 the second, and so forth. 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. I would advise you to take help from web design tool like Topagentsite which is specifically designated for real estate investment.

it's very important you include H1 H2 headers because for SEO point of view, they have a weight to the keywords and phrases you put into H1 and H2, the importance of the keywords are also determined by Bold letters.

They are actually very basic for web design, however, for SEO point of view, all those little basic things will help you index more effectively in the long run.

hope that helps

One very important thing to note about H tags is to NOT overuse them. If you put the same terms with different H tags you might get a penalty from search engines.

Hello Friends,
Heading tags are some of the most important things to use on a web page.
Heading Tags have nothing to do with size; they signify the importance of the text which follows. The size thing comes from browser companies, not specifications. Headings should be used to headline the text which follows. For example:

<h1>Heading Main Topic</h1> -This is the area of the page which is most important to what the page's main topic is.
<h2>Sub Heading of the Page</h2> -This is where supporting topcs would be for the page.

H tags can be very useful for seo and still carry some weight with the search engines. It a tag that is not used as often as it once was but is still worthwhile to use. Basically it tells the search engines what they should pay attention to on a particular page.

H1 tag is very use for SEO in title but don't spam h1 tag because google don't like it

It is said that using the H tags can have some positive effects and impacts on the rankings of the websites from SEO perspectives but they might not be that huge.
