Does font size matter?
-
I have a two-part question:
1. I know that bold and italicized font can help keywords rank better. I have a block of regular text on my site that is really more for SEO than anything else. If I reduce the font size, will it have an impact on the importance of the text?
2. If you reduce the size of font enclosed in header tags, such as, reducing h1 text to 8 px font, does that have an impact on the importance of the text within that h1 tag?

Great information. Thank you.

Hello,
- I think the font size is only important to users (except Black Hat)
- Best practices say that H1> H2> H3, as in newspapers and magazines

As wtih everything, the size isn't what matters. It's what you do with it. Anywhooo...
The CSS attributes should not effect any legitimate style choices, unless the search engines detect hidden text due to size, placement, or color.

I don't know that anyone knows 100% for sure, but I think it is extremely unlikely that font size would have any bearing on SEO. The only place where I could see it having an effect is if you were trying to hide something in a miniscule font - this could get you penalized.

On-page SEO
This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

Does page "depth" matter
Would it have a negative effect on SEO to have a link from the home page to this page... http://www.website/com/page1deep/page2deep rather than to this page http://www.website/com/page1deep I'm hoping that made some sense. If not I'll try to clarify. Thanks, Mark
