Multiple Anchor text Links to 1 Page
-
Hi,
Currently we have this page on our site - http://www.highstreetvouchers.com/gift-vouchers/gift-vouchers-cards.jsp
It contains both "Gift Vouchers " & "Gift Cards" content which are 2 keywords we are targeting for. Currently the top nav link anchor is "Gift Vouchers & Gift Cards"
If we were to change the top nav to be "Gift Vouchers" & "Gift Cards" as different tabs, both linking to the same page, what might be the SEO consequences?
thanks

There is no SEO benefit to have multiple internal links on a single page which have the same target page.
When Google crawls your site, they will take the first link they find and associate the anchor text they find with that link. Any other links to the same page would be disregarded.
If we were to change the top nav to be "Gift Vouchers" & "Gift Cards" as different tabs, both linking to the same page, what might be the SEO consequences?
Presently the value of your link's weight is given to the phrase "Gift Vouchers & Gift Cards". If you make the split and Google sees the "Gift Cards" link first, then your page will be seen as more relevant to "Gift Cards" and less relevant to "Gift Vouchers".

Seomoz legacy pages?
Hello, I am finding that I miss several of the old seomoz sections. The legacy tools in particular like the visual website comparison. Where is that now? Also, where is the ongoing list of the top 100 sites? So much was lost in the shift to MOZ, I hope some of the good old stuff is still available. Thank you, Nolan

HTML5 multiple h1 tags
When I run the On-Page Report Card it tells me that I should remove the multiple instances of H1 tags, even though the website is built using HTML5 and has hierarchical structure where each section / article has its own H1 tag. This approach is completely legal with HTML5 and I'm just wondering what impact does it have on SEO and whether the On-Page Report Card recognises the HTML5 and processes it accordingly.
