HI and H2 tag is some thing like a man's life without true love... to get more confident rather than you are now.

H1 and H2 gives prominent boost to your website or blog. So use this. It will

Header tags (H1, H2, H3 …..) are the second most important onpage SEO factor that you can use to get better SERPs. Search Engines still(with so much of the algorithm based on backlinks) give decent importance to the Header tags and having your target keywords in them can do a lot of good.

- Use the same target keyword in H1, H2 and H3 tags. This will make the page look focused on a single keyword and gain importance in the Search Engine’s eyes.
- Don’t use target keyword in H1 tag but use them in H2 and H3 tags. According to them H1 tags have been so abused that Search Bots and algorithm does not give as much importance to them as before. Much like they disregard meta-keywords tag.
- Use “keyword” as H1 tag and “keyword”+ “some word” as H2 and H3 tags. Lets assume your keyword is “Header Tags”. Use “Header tags” in H1, “Header tags Secrets” in H2 and “Header tags Secrets Unveiled” in H3.
If you are intelligent (which I am sure you are

), you must have understood by now that none of the aforementioned strategies work well. If you want to do “Good SEO” with the header tags follow the rules set by Google and other Search Engines and use them optimally.

H1 & H2 headers are among the more heavily weighed elements of on-page content. If leveraged properly, H1 & H2 headers can be very effective in helping to shape search engines perception of your pages content.

The header tags (H1, H2, H3 and so on) represent the beginning of a new section or area of a pages content and alert search engine spiders of the relevancy of the content that follows the heading tag.

While it's always a good idea to have great headlines on a site that may or may not use a keyword phrase, whether it's wrapped in H-whatever tags is of no consequence to your rankings.

They can really help on emphasizing keywords and highlighting important parts of your site like paragraph subjects.

Many search engines also pay special attention to what you have inside your header tags. For
example, the most important headline on your page should be inside the <H1> tag, the second most
important under the <H2>, and so on.
So if you are trying to optimize your page for the phrase "get iphone" then you'll want to ensure your
<H1> headline has that keyword inside it.
Here's an example...
<H1>Get Iphone From Store</H1>
The <H1> tag should appear as close to your opening <body> tag as possible, then <H2> and so on.

Heading tags will be recognised by browsers which don't recognise style sheets (or use a user-defined style sheet).Heading tags are used by search engines to identify words which are more important than the rest of the page text. The theory is that headings will sum up the topic of the page, so they are counted as important keywords.

H1, H2 tags are indeed very important for on page SEO, but one should be very carefully in using them. Selection of proper keywords are very necessary, otherwise you won't get any benefits from header tags. Your most important keyword should be used as H1, then second important as H2 like this for a page of your website....

I think H tag helps to seo. Use target keywords in H Tags that helps to increase ranking.
