Making good use of header tags is good practise when it comes to SEO.
To use a header tag simply put <h1> at the start of the heading and </h1> at the end of the heading.
Make sure you use the keyword you are trying to optimise your site for in the header and then directly after the header have a paragraph sentence using <p> paragraph goes in here </p> where you repeat the keyword twice within 200 words, prefrably once at the start and again nearer the end.
Example, based on trying to further optimize my site for “Blue Widgets”
<h1>Blue Widget are a must for all home users</h1>
<p> Blue Widgets where first introduced to out company back in 1966 since then ourcompany has over 1000% and we are now producing more than 250,000 Blue Widgets every day</P>
Apply this technique to your site and you will see an improvement in SERP’s

If you have a site the uses a lot of images there are two tips i have for you that will help improve your SERPs.
Tip one:
Alt tags. Using keywords in alt tags is a good way to improve your search engine position.
Example if you are selling a range of different widgets, you could use alt tags keywords such as “blue widgets” “red widgets” “round Widgets” and so on.
To put an alt tag into an image look at the example code below:
<img src=”/images/bluewidgets.jpg” alt=”Blue Widgets” width=”600″ height=”500″ />
Now when someone puts their mouse over the image it will display the text, Blue Widgets, search engines will pick up on this and boost your SERPs a little.
Tip two:
Image names. Using keywords in the names of your images can also help your SERPs, rather than just calling them inage1.jpg and image2.jp call them something descriptive and relevant.
Lets look at that code again:
<img src=”/images/bluewidgets.jpg” alt=”Blue Widgets” width=”600″ height=”500″ />
A descriptive file name with a corresponding alt text will improve your SERPs especially if its a practice you apply to all the images on your site.
Try it out and let me know how you get on.
