I need some clarification on what exactly H tags are. I've been searching WA's Q&A archives and I'm still not clear on what they are and how they help with SEO. I know that
Here's a great training on it. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/website-development-programming/i-use-h3-and-h4-headings-and-so-should-you
Thanks Nate. Maybe I'm just over analyzing the details. I'll just go back over my posts and see what I can do to change them around properly. So h tags basically are a way to make heading fonts uniform though correct?
Let me elaborate. I would need to go into the Text editor in Wordpress to implement h3 tags i.e Insert header text here
for each heading.
You can change text to different header levels (Header 1, Header 2, etc) using the formatting icons and drop-downs available with the WP editor.
If you are only seeing one row of icons, with Bold, Italics, etc., at the left of the row, then go to the last icon on the right of that row and click on what is called the Toolbar Toggle.
When you click the Toggle icon, a second row of formatting information shows up. You will find a paragraph/heading drop-down on the left of that second row. Highlight the text you want to change and then, in that drop-down, select Heading 3. Appropriate and
tags will be inserted around the highlighted text.
H tags stand for header tags which belongs to HTML language. Google uses your H tags to INDEX THE STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF YOUR WEB PAGES.
Wordpress will take the title of your web page or blog post and surround it with H1 tag. So you don't have to worry about this tag.
Then you can break up your content into sections and subtitle them with h2 and h3 tags. Kyle uses h3 tags and it is big and bold enough.
Users skim your pages by its headings. It is important to use headings to show the document structure.
To see a good demonstration of these tags, please visit:

and click on the first "Try It Yourself" green button.on top.
Neat demonstration Lemm and thanks! So h1,h2,h3, etc just different levels of headings? Say if I don't use the html editor in Wordpress but just wanted to implement h3 in my headings, is it a specific font?
An H-tag is a heading tag. It basically just sets up the subject matter that will follow, and if you do an h-tag as opposed to just using the bold letter it is treated differently by google.
This is exactly the problem I think I may be having that could turn my traffic results around. I've just been using bold letters in the body for my posts and not using whatever h tags are.
I don't think it alone will boost your rankings a lot. I will post the article I read a few days ago. It can explain better than I can paraphrase.

One thing that is consistent in this article and something I read on a blogger's site a while back was to have question as headers in some of your blog titles or headings.
Thanks Adrian. I'll have a look.
Keep the answers coming faithful WA community! :)

Does Google +1 really have that much influence? I haven't really bothered to involve myself in the Google community yet.
I don't remember seeing too many google +1's on top pages, and I have never seen it as being a "must have" when I have researched information on how to get ranked.

I liked using Times New Roman in my site, with 5 pts for text body and 6 pts for headers. When I went in today to start a new draft, fonts sizes got changed somehow starting at
yes it is that way with game consoles as well every time they update you console you wind up having to reboot in order to fix the update all the best
Updates usually fix security problems and may save you from having to recover from being hacked. Updates may screw things up too but only temporarily as the next update fixes their errors.
In the meantime though, you have to make necessary adjustments instead of focusing on your next article. I really hate how complicated programming can be at times but these people know far more about Wordpress than I do.

So, I'm a member of a few forums and other websites ranging from vegan green smoothies to bodybuilding. I want to build a rapport before I start talking about my website and som
I don't know if this counts, but you could mention that you have a site in those online communities, but without backlinking. Really interested/curious readers might go to it "manually" - by searching for your site name (if it ranks well enough) and/or typing in your domain if you gave it to them without a link.
Its not as good as a link, but its more "personable".
An example could be if you are in a forum and answering a question that requires a lot of detail, perhaps give a summary, and tell them that they can find more info from your site or a page on your site, but without giving them the exact link...
I'm new so not sure if this would be a good or bad thing, its just the only idea I could think of...
This is what I was thinking too. Give them a "soft reference" and not a backlink. In the end how popular you are within a forum and it's popularity itself would effect how much traffic you could potentially generate. Thanks for your feedback!

I like using clker every now and then and learned how to insert HTML links for images into posts but since it's been awhile since I added images using clker I forgot! lol
Click the image once, then click the pencil icon that appears. You'll then see the image option. Your image tag will be the text called "alternative text" http://take.ms/zWavS
Thanks Nate. Serious brain fart/user malfunction lol! Guess I'll need to scrap that smoothie recipe that's supposed to help heighten perception and awareness!
As you can clearly see, sometimes I tend to over think very simple tasks. Thank you again for your time! :)
