Hi Bek,

Thanks for your reply. Below is the message I get. Ive checked my source code which is

 <code># **Browse 164 live paralegal jobs**

 and as you can see i have the key word 'paralegal jobs' once only.</code>

'Why it's an issue:

Although using targeted keywords in H1 tags on your page does not directly correlate to high rankings, it does appear to provide some slight value. It's also considered a best practice for accessibility and helps potential visitors determine your page's content, so we recommend it. Over-using keywords, however, can be perceived as keyword stuffing (a form of search engine spam) and can negatively impact rankings, so use keywords in H1 tags two or fewer times. To adhere to best practices in Google News and Bing News, headlines should contain the relevant keyword target and be treated with the same importance as title tags. See Four Graphics to Help Illustrate On Page Optimization.How to fix it:Use your targeted keywords at the beginning of your H1 headers once or twice (but not more) on the page.

Is there a specific header tag you were told was hurting your site? It would help to be able to see that. You should write naturally with keywords in Headings if relevant. Are you keyword stuffing your H1?
