FP 2003, CSS & SERPs

S

Sitara Lal

According to some gurus, SERP rankings are influenced by the use of Header
tags. So here are two scenarios:

One
I use a Header Tag (say, Heading 1 in FP styles) on a page not linked to an
external CSS; either I accept FP's (and the browser's) default settings for
Heading 1 OR I change it with Format | Style | Modify to suit my design. If
I choose the latter, I have to manually modify the style in all pages.


Two
I use an external CSS to easily get my headers (in all my pages) to conform
to my design, rather than some arbitrary default setting; but the SE does
not recognize this as a 'Header Tag'

Am I seeing a problem where there is none? And if indeed this is a dilemma,
what is the best solution?

The best solution is to use a header tag and format it with CSS.

Example:

In the CSS (either embedded in the <head>...</head> section of the page,
or in a linked external CSS file)

h1 {
font-family:Arial,sans-serif;
font-size:large;
text-align:center;
color:black;
background:white;
}


And in the page

<h1>Heading text here</h1>

The search engines will recognise anything between <h1>...</h1> as a top
level heading.
