          Hi Everybody,

          I was wondering what is the best way to define H2,H3 and H4 for e-commerce sites.

          For example, I randomly chose an e-commerce site http://www.designerleds.com/products/high-power/

          What would you suggest for H2,H3 and H4?

          Thank you very much for your help!

            Oh sorry, I didn't check any of the other pages. I would always create a unique H1 for every page. So not use the same H1 on every page as you want all of your pages to be as unique as possible.

                Thanks for your response Martijn!

                For your suggestion for H1, "LED products" appears all over the site as it in the filter box so I would have the same H1 for all the pages on the site? Would that be beneficial for SEO?

                  Hi,

                  In the case of the site you've mentioned I would do the H1s like this:

                  H1: LED Products (yups, like the H2 is now).
                  H2: High Power LED.
                  H3: All the product names.

                  Forget about the H4, I hardly believe this will still have any value to search engines.

                    If you are referring to a category page such as the link you provided, I would go for:

                    H1: Product Category

                    H2: Product Names

                    You probably won't need H3 or H4. Header tags should only be used for headings and subheadings, which means fields like product copy and prices should go under

                    or

                    .

                    This discussion over here might give you more perspective: http://www.webmasterworld.com/ecommerce/4292160.htm

                      On Site Question: Duplicate H2...

                      Hi All A few on-site audit tools pull information on duplicate H2 tags on pages.  This implies it's a bad thing and should be fixed - is that the case? On one of my sites the tag-line is in H2 in the header, so appears on every page... Just wondering if this is something worth fixing. Thanks

                      301 Redirect to external site

                      Hi guys, We have a client who is getting their website redesigned through us. They are discontinuing couple of their services which will not get featured in the new site. They are fairly well ranked for these services and my client wishes to 301 redirect these pages to an external site owned by his friend so that they benefit out of the ranking. The question is: Will my client's website's general ranking get affected due to 301 redirecting to an external site? The external site is not spammy or red-flagged by Google (at the moment, at least). Thanks in advance!

                      Trying to SEO a site that used Header Tags for Design

                      I am trying to SEO a website that was built years ago and uses Header tags for design.  The site must have 25 and tags used for design purpose. Is there any way to work around this problem?  Perhaps a code that tells Google to ignore these as Headers?  The web designers say that they are looking to fix the problem sometime this summer but you never know if that means it a month away or years away.  I really want to help this website but I believe that the Header tags are one of the reasons that his site does not show in the top 100  rankings for any keywords.  Any help would be great. www.wallybuysell.com Chris.K

                      Moving a site from .cfm to Wordpress - How to keep the authority?

                      Hi guys, My client has a site built with Cold Fusion (web pages end in .cfm) and we're moving them over to Wordpress (for many reasons), keeping the same menu structure and navigation. Their previous SEO company was pretty awful, however, they did manage to establish some decent authority/backlinks for the website and its 20 or so pages. My questions: I assume I'll want to do 301 redirects for each page, possibly by editing the .htaccess file?  Any advice on this? Anything else I need to consider in this move? Thanks!

                      Alt tag matching product titles - e-commerce

                      Hey all, Just wondering if it is ok to match the alt tag to product titles. Imagine an e-commerce site that lists a whole lot of products on any one page for any one category. Each product listing has a thumbnail image beside it. The easiest way to implement this dynamically is to use the product title for the alt tag. Anyone had any experience with this? Is it overkill / spam of keywords - given that the product title is repeated. Our current situation is that our alt tags are simply blank or say 'photo' which is no good, and we have hundreds of thousands of pages. Cheers, Croozie

                      E-Commerce product pages that have multiple skus with unique pages.

                      Hey Guys, With the recent farm/panda update from google i'm at a cross roads as to how I should optimize product pages for a project i'm working on for a client. My client sells tires and one particular tire brand can have up to 15 models and each model can have up to 30 sizes. IE: 'Michelin Pilot Sport Cup' comes in 15 different sizes. Each size will have it's unique product page and description bringing me to my question. Should I use the same description on every size? I do plan on writting unique content for each tire model however i'm not sure if I should do it for every size. After all the tire model description is the same for every size, each size doesn't carry any unique characteristics that I can describe. Thanks in advance!
