I'm other words by in large so long as your code is structured correctly your <h1>, <h2> etc will be indexed appropriately. The only caveat/exception is non-valid code. Also, long, heavy and bloated code where important tag info is burried way down the page, can impact on indexability - stuff that's simply not best practice. -- rob // Rob Enslin // twitter.com/robenslin On 15 Apr 2009, at 06:21, Caleb Wong <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a SEO question regarding how search engines scans a website. > Say for example if I have a site where it has a 3 column layout. > Column left and column right appears before the middle column area, > and within column left, right there are h2, h3 tags; within the > middle column there is a h1 tag. > > The source code goes something like this... > <column_right> > <h2> > </column_right> > <column_left> > <h2> > </column_left> > <column_middle> > <h1> > </column_middle> > > So would search engines pick up on the h1 header that appears at the > bottom of the page, or picks up on the first header (regardless its > weight) it sees. > > Cheers > Caleb > > ******************************************************************* > List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm > Help: [email protected] > ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
