      Hello Seomozzers

      I have a query, is it good to have links in h2, h3, h4 tags. Does it have a positive factor over on page optimisation or a negative factor.

      Thanks

        If the wording of the links is relative and an ideal keyword than it would benefit the SEO of your page in my opinion keeping in mind that if it is going to be repeated on every page that you have that navigation so it could be very useful for one page and not so useful for another.

          I'm not sure what the effect would be, but I don't believe it would be beneficial to the visitor.  If they are looking at the title of a section, and its telling me to leave this page I might be a little confused.

            The use of h1 h2 and so on do not have to be related to the title.  Because of CSS a h1, h2 and h3 can be re-sized and styled to appear as a regular link.  Google gives more juice to h1, h2 and h3 tags however so the SEO benefits would be good so long as the links are relative to the page content.  So how they are written is very important.
