      Hi everyone,

      I am trying to add span tags in H1, break tag on 2 lines and style each line of H1 differently:

      Example:

      Line 1Line 2

      I might add a smaller font for line 2 as well... Is this SEO friendly?

      Will crawlers read entire text or can interfere and block it.

      Thank you!

          Looking at your code example, you will have a single H1 on your page.  That is fine and recommended.

          The rest of what you are doing is styling.  Search engines will not care about that as long as you are not playing games like white text on a white background, etc.

            I agree with most of what  Roman said 2 h1 will not be the end of the world.

            still I thin it is something I would avoid I would use the h1 as the on page introduction and then use as many  h2’s

            as needed Google still looks at the h1 tag

            google dose try to look at your site design it crawls css & JS like in fetch as a Google Bot

            Hope that helps,

            Tom

              The Crawler looks for content not for design technically you are talking about how to style your H1. That is a CSS topic you don't have to worry about that as long your tag and your content is relevant.

                Lightboxes and SEO

                Do lightboxes (AKA popup boxes when you click "learn more" type CTAs) have any negative effect on SEO? We are looking at revamping our sites to have more of a tiled approach, and a lightbox with summary content popping out with additional CTAs, directing to pages with more information or free trial pages. Is there any downside to this approach from an organic perspective? is there anything specific to keep in mind when creating these if not?

                Multiple H2 tags

                Is it advisable to use only one H2 tag? The template designs for some reason is ended up with multiple H2 tags, I realise if any think it's that each one is that are important and it is all relative. Just trying to assess if it's worth the time and effort to rehash the template. Has anyone done any testing or got any experience? Thanks

                Merging Pages and SEO

                Hi, We are redesigning our website the following way: Before: Page A with Content A, Page B with Content B, Page C with Content C, etc
                e.g. one page for each Customer Returns, Overstocks, Master Case, etc
                Now: Page D with content A + B + C etc.
                e.g. one long page containing all Product Conditions, one after the other So we are merging multiples pages into one.
                What is the best way to do so, so we don't lose traffic? (or we lose the minimum possible) e.g. should we 301 Redirect A/B/C to D...?
                Is it likely that we lose significant traffic with this change? Thank you,

                AJAX requests and implication for SEO

                Hi, I got a question in regard to webpages being served via AJAX request as I couldn't find a definitive answer in regard to an issue we currently face: When visitors on our site select a facet on a Listing Page, the site doesn't fully reload. As a consequence only certain tags of the content (H1, description,..) are updated, while other tags like canonical URLs, meta noindex,nofollow tag, or the title tag are not updating as long as you don't refresh the page. We have no information about how this will be crawled and indexed yet but I was wondering if anyone of you knows, how this will impact SEO?

                What is the best way to get anchor text cloud in line?

                So I am working on a website, and it has been doing seo with keyword links for a a few years. The first branded terms comes in a 7% in 10th in the list on Ahefs. The keyword terms are upwards of 14%. What is the best way to get this back in line?  It would take several months to build keyword branded terms to make any difference - but it is doable. I could try link removal, but less than 10% seem to actually get removed -- which won't make a difference. The disavow file doesn't really seem to do anything either. What are your suggestions?

                Exact match Title and H1 tags, and over optimization

                Hi Mozzers - was just wondering whether matching H1 and Title tags are still OK, or whether there's an over optimization risk if they exact match?

                Is the eCommerce site Shopify SEO friendly?

                We ave a prospect client that wants to start doing SEO for his Shopify site, we are unsure if this will be SEO friendly. Will we have enough control to get great placement? Are we better off rebuilding the site for the client in an OpenCart?
