My Article Post Title in both the h1 and the h2 are the same. Is this good seo?
-
I'm seeing a common practice in wordpress themes where the h1 tag for a page has the logo in it, then the h2 would be the title to the article.
I've decided to place the title in the h1 dynamically, like this:
- Joe's Auto Store
where '' is the actual title to the post - the logo is still being used as a background image in the h1...
So for example, the page would show this:
How install a car battery - Joe's Auto Store
I think this is good seo still, but the other issue is that the first, subsequent
also has the exact same title because this is the actual post title, which uses the first h2 on the page to display the title. So the code would look like this:
- My Company
paragraph content text stuff
an example would be
How install a car battery - Joe's Auto Store
How install a car battery
At Joe's we teach how to install batteries on site. There are mor...(etc.)
Is this an issue since the post title in both the h1 and h2 are nearly the same (except for the company name)? Is this good seo still?

OK - so with that philosophy, should you keep h1 - h4 to the content areas, but leave h5 and h6 to places such as sidebars?
I'm guessing in this way, main content remains the focal point semantically while the sidebar should score less importantly...

I wouldn't stress about the
tag, it's not that big of a ranking factor, if at all. As long as you aren't overusing your keywords to the point of spamminess, having the same
and
tag should not be a problem.

I would say no, the H2 is purposefully for setting out something else on the page e.g. a H1 might be 'Dog Leads' and the H2 might be 'Leather Dog Leads'. Also why waste the opportunity to help the page rank for something a bit different, in the above case 'leather dog leads'? I cant imagine why anyone would want to SEO a page for just 1 keyword.
To use your exact example above I would do something like:
How to install a car battery - Joe's Auto Store
Car battery installation
I dont think having the same h1 & h2 because it makes automation of your tags easier a great reason to do this. If that is your reason, then presumably it will happen right throughout the site and you will have the h1 & h2 replicating itself 100s of times which looks very spammy.

Breadcrumbs on Mobile How important are they for SEO?
Due to Poor unsightly look of breadcrumbs and the space it takes up above the fold we only employ breadcrumbs on our desktop version. Breadcrumbs are hidden from view on mobile version. However as mobile first indexing is now in play what technical SEO impacts will this have? one thing that comes to mind is crawling deeper pages where breadcrumbs made them accessible in less than 3 link clicks? But i am unsure now of the impacts of not having breadcrumbs visible for mobile version of our site.

Article Marketing for Backlinks
Ok I know there's a lot of information already on here about Article Marketing for SEO, but I need to know if anyone here has recently ran an article campaign successfully? Correct me if I am wrong, but submitting the same article to a bunch (more than 1-2) article directories for back links is a bad idea. Right? Maybe it worked in 2006, but now even the site themselves (Article Directories) are just so polluted with spam from the pass that, that Even if you submitted a genuine article.. it would still not give you as much Juice because the sites themselves are considered spamy. Looking at Alexa's ranking of Ezine Articles kind of proves that, after Panda Hit. The bottom line is, my boss says I have to start writing articles for backlinks. He wanted me to blast them across multiple directories. So I need to be absolutely certain that where I place these articles will have Quality impact on our sites SEO. Tips, Advice, Links, THANKS! We are a prominent ecommerce site in the food service industry.
