There's so much that can be done and the search engines are continually changing, so I think it's important to concentrate quality if you want longer term security. Over optimizing can lead to problems over time if you get found out, although people still get away with it sometimes for a while?

Nice post regarding images and H1 tags. Completely agree with you that the H1 tag is important and should only be used once on a page. Never thought of using it in images, and probably won't now, but worth knowing.

Make sure your logo is named with a keyword, and the alt & title tags have keywords. Not sure about putting it an h1 tag.

The h1 tag has no weight anymore , so don't sweat it if you have no where to put it on your page.

13.02.2010 @ 11:04pm

Hi Jenna! I like where you are headed with this line of thought. I stopped using image replacement on page header elements a few years ago in my efforts to avoid non-pertinent markup. One thing I would add is the possibility of identifying (id) your header image/logo (as it is unique to the page) in order to allow it's manipulation via css. This could then allow the logo itself to be part of a larger graphical header using padding and background image within the css. Expanding upon this idea of identifying unique page elements can also lead to much cleaner markup without quite so many span and nested div tags.

On the other hand, I do agree that if the image is highly-informative, it should be marked up appropriately. It's just hard to say what's appropriate.

To see the graphical representation of a logo is important. It's a visualisation that associates itself with you/your business and therefore ensures people think of you when they see similar shapes/colours or even a blank page with your logo on it.

"H" tags for text, "alt" tags for images. Simple as that. And remember to name your pictures according to "alt" tag and picture subject. Dont`t call your logo picture just "logo", call it "companyname_logo" or something like that.

Darba piedāvājumi said...
20.11.2009 @ 01:28pm

I think that your logo can be h1 heading tag, because each page in your website has it's own value and PR the same h1 in all pages will be a duplicate content and important only for one keyword phrase. Not each page as unique with own value.

John said...

I don't like putting images in the H1 tag. Like the other said above, I would rather have keyword rich text in the H1 rather than an image. But perhaps you could put the two together - image, text - in the same H1 tag. Would that be a workaround?

Dena: Band Saw Blades said...
30.10.2009 @ 06:43pm

I agree that the logo shouldn't be an H1; in fact it would be completely inefficient to use it with an image. I'm no expert, but I would much rather provide some keyword rich content within that tag; perhaps and image ALT tag would suffice, but why take chances?

I struggle with this issue from time to time.

Needless to say I have developed this habit which I use for newbie flexibility.

Excellent advice! I think I actually need to critique a few areas of some of my websites to meet these parameters, but I believe you are right on the $

How does having more header tags (h2, h3, ect) affect your h1's value? Will they considerably lower it? Even if it's a logo?

Learning css is a big process, i didnt know we can use logos instead H1 headers, a great idea to try.

You're probably right that the logo shouldn't go to H1 for the best optimization.

If you can place the keyword on the alt tag then it should be fine I hope. That's what I do.

Thanks,

I think it is ok if you use alt tags on the image and give your image file name a keyword too. good luck

wow.. i've never actually thought about that before. I always put the logo in a H1, might change it and see what happens.

Great idea! I really never though it would be posibble that logo can be really useful. This technique will also help in improving the style of the layout too.

But why would you use an image in a h1 tag in the first place? For SEO purposes?

Web design Edinburgh said...
13.09.2009 @ 05:19am

I wouldn't ever use an image inside an H1 tag, doing so basically destroys the SEO value of the tag.

An H1 should be keyword rich and act as a heading for the page.

I still choose to use the classic way of

usage. Use text because Search Engines Understand Text. Not unless my site is so uber popular that it has enough traffic for the transition for look over promotion

I personally would never use a H1 for a logo and waste all the SEO value of a H1. Leave it for it's purpose, the main heading on the page.

@Multiply Themes
It isn't fine in SEO. That was the point I was making about dark data. Search metrics do not value images in H tags because it would open the sytem to abuse.

Multiply Themes said...
07.09.2009 @ 08:42am

I think as long as alt text st there, it fine in seo.

Anthony Green said...
07.09.2009 @ 08:21am

If the H1 contains your company name and you want to display the logo instead, use an image replacement technique.

Other than that images should NEVER appear in H tags. Firstly Headings are one of the more semantically important structures in a web page, and only really intended for textual metadata. Secondly Images are dark data. There is no foolproof method of machine determining what the image contains, (remember alt attributtes can lie.)

Thanks for sharing. I never thought about the logo being pertinent content and therefore earning a spot in the source. It's just usually ugly in an un-styled page. Maybe this should go a bit further to include ways to make it pretty in both styled and un-styled layouts.

But should you be using an H1 for the logo anyway?

In a poll, over at http://www.h1debate.com 70% of the people said that they use an H1 for the title, with only 30% putting the logo, or name of the company in the H1.

Your logo shouldn't go to H1 if you want to have it optimized best. If you don't care about what the search engines think then it doesn't really matter.

background image within the css. Expanding upon this idea of identifying unique page elements can also lead to much cleaner markup without quite so many span and nested div

If you want to have your logo, just optimized it. It's a best you can do.

You use a image as or instead of an h1 tag? I´m a little bit confused. Does this make a sense? Please give me a little help.

why would you have logo in h1 tag. I am bit confused.... what difference it makes having it h1 vs not having it ? anyone please...

I agree that it would have been an SEO mistake to set the logo up as an h1. However, including the logo on every page goes a long way towards building a brand. Thanks for keeping us informed

Ah yes, you are quite right Jeff... I generally add the ID to the surrounding anchor and forgot to add that part! I have updated the markup in the post to reflect this =)

Jeff Hales said...

Hi Jenna! I like where you are headed with this line of thought. I stopped using image replacement on page header elements a few years ago in my efforts to avoid non-pertinent markup. One thing I would add is the possibility of identifying (id) your header image/logo (as it is unique to the page) in order to allow it's manipulation via css. This could then allow the logo itself to be part of a larger graphical header using padding and background image within the css. Expanding upon this idea of identifying unique page elements can also lead to much cleaner markup without quite so many span and nested div tags.
