H1 Tags with Location
-
Hi Everyone,
I have a question about trying to get location information into title tags without having it look spammy. What I've been trying is something like this:
h1 { font-size:18px; }
.h1_sub { font-size:10px; }

I'm not sure if that is a good thing to do or not as everything is inside the h1 tag and visible to the engines however it makes it less prominent on the page and gives a better layout. You can see it at www.mltgroup.com/company.php
Thanks

Cufon is a font sifr used to emulate non-web safe fonts on the web. All of these classes and span wrapped around the H1 are being added on page load. If you actually review the source code you can see that is not what the search engines would see when crawling the page.
In regards to stuffing content into the H1, i wouldn't stress over it to much. As long as your targeted keywords show up in the title/meta and a few times on the page you will be all set. Cater your site to the user not the search engines.
Good luck!

This is how your h1 looks like:
<h1>
<cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Why " style="width: 41px; height: 22px;"><canvas width="54" height="21" style="width: 54px; height: 21px; top: 1px; left: 0px;">canvas><cufontext>cufon><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Choose " style="width: 66px; height: 22px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="MLT " style="width: 41px; height: 22px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Group " style="width: 54px; height: 22px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="- " style="width: 14px; height: 22px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Creative " style="width: 72px; height: 22px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Solutions" style="width: 75px; height: 22px;"><br><span class="h1_sub"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Minnesota " style="width: 60px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Advertising " style="width: 64px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Agency " style="width: 44px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="| " style="width: 7px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Minneapolis " style="width: 69px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Marketing " style="width: 59px; height: 14px;"><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Firm" style="width: 25px; height: 14px;">span>h1>I suggest going for:<title>Web Design Minnessota | Web Development Minnessota</title># Minnessota based web design & web development agency then start your paragraph with Our web design & development agency is based in Minnessota...I still don't know the main keyword you are targeting :)Just an idea... you can create your own variations... just make h1 => TEXTand not <cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Choose " style="width: 66px; height: 22px;">

Okay to have additional attributes in canonical tag?
Hello! I'm helping a Client with a platform migration from an SEO standpoint. They are working to implement canonical tags, but I've noticed that each of the ones they are implementing are including a "data-rdm" attribute: data-rdm=""> I'm not sure the Client has a way to suppress this before the launch date. Do we think this will be an issue for Google?

A question about title tag when the page has 2 services.
Hi all, Assuming a company has two services: SEO and PPC. Here is the situation: I would like to focus on SEO for now but also don't want to leave my PPC service out of the page. SEO accounts for 60% of the content, while PPC accounts for 40%. Assuming the content (SEO + PPC) of the page will not change, which title tag would you prefer, and why? SEO | brand name (Is it appropriate that the title focus on SEO but the content of the page contains PPC) SEO | PPC | brand name (Will the keywords dilute each other?) SEO | SEM Agency | brand name (The idea behind it is that SEM includes SEO and PPC so I think Google would be OK with the page ranking for SEO and also including PPC in the content. I really appreciate your help and explanation. Thank you!

Questions in regard to putting 2-3 keywords in a title tag.
Hi all, Here is the situation. There are two services A and B in the page. B is more like a complement to A (they have something in common). C is the umbrella term over A and B. However, our company focuses more on A (70%) than B (30%). Questions: 1. Can I rank the keyword A for the page, while the page has B? (e.g. A | brand name) Will it hurt the seo, with B being in the page? 2. If I write the title tag this way: A | B | brand name . Will A and B dilute each other? 3. How about this: **A | C | brand name **(the idea behind this: We focus on A, but also include C because we have B in the page.) Does this make any sense? I am a newbie to SEO and I realize that could be confusing. Thank you for any support and explanation.

How Important is Title Tag while viewing in browser's tab
Hi SEOmozer,I have a dumb/silly question. Ok, I know Title tags are important for SEO and users and it shows up in the SERP and all that. My question is that, using a weird CMS, I have the title tag implemented and it appear in the SERP the way I want it. However, the problem is that when I hover over the tab on the browser, it doesn't appear the same way it is in the SERP. Does that really matter that it appears differently? I checked the HTMl and this what I got<title>Example Keywordtitle><meta name="layout" content="main"/><meta name="description" content="Keyword 1 | Keyword 2 | Company Name"/>So whats within the "content" is showing in the SERP and what is in "title" tag is showing in the browser tab. Shouldn't they be the same?

Duplicate H1 tag IF it holds SAME text?
Hello people, I know that majority of SEO gurus (?) claim that H1 tag should only be used once per page. In the landing page design I'm working with, we actually need to repeat our core message stated in H1 & H2 - at the bottom of the page. Now the question is: Can that in any way cause any ranking penalty from big G? In my eyes that is not attempt to over optimize page as it contains SAME info as the H1 & H2 at the top of the page. Confusing, so I'm hope that some SEO gurus here will share some light on this. Thanks in advance!
