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

Can the be too many backlinks to your site?
Well i wrote in my last post a couple of days ago about the different types of backlinks and how they will benefit you, but now here comes a few words of warning that may get you in to trouble with the big G (Google) in particular.
There is a lot of discussion about if backlinks can harm your site, i am of the belief that building backlinks too quickly can adversely affect your site, it may be something small where as the extra backlinks you are getting are just not counted or if you are going all out buying high PR backlinks or building 1,000 of backlinks using black hat method you could get your site penalised quite hard.
What could the result be? any number of things could happen to your site if you get links that are unnatural, Googles way of thinking is that a link should be natural and if you have good content on your site people will link to it naturally. therefore people going out buying paid links and using co-op programs may be in for a shock.
You could end up loosing all your sites PR (page rank), you may loose your search rankings and worst of all you may get you entire site black listed.
Think I’m joking? take a look at Googles link schemes page, and think twice before buying your next link.
Just remember good SERP’s take time, things will happen naturally and you cant cheat the big G.

I consider there to be two main types of backlinks.
1. A standard backlink using your url. Example http://www.bettermychange.org
And
2. An anchor text backlink. Example Search Engine Blog
The second is a much better way to improve your SERP’s (Search engine results pages) as the site that is linking back to you is telling search engines what type of site it is, it need to be written in html code and looks like this:
<a href=”http://www.bettermychance.org”>Search Engine Blog</a>
Its not always easy to get sites to link to you using anchor text, but a good place to start experimenting is forums that allows footer links, such as Digital Point. There we go, that was another backlink using anchor text. cool huh!

A backlink in its most simplist form is a link from one site to another site (Your site)
Google considers a backlink as a vote for your site, so the more backlinks or votes you get to your site the more popular your site will become.
The above is a very basic description, you may also want to read, Types of backlinks and Too many backlinks.
