      Hi,

      The web-designer would like to make us use this CSS-class:  or

      **, in order to keep all over the same size of the titles on a page.

      Is it a problem for the search engine (like spam)? I haven’t ever use this CSS-class and that’s why I can’t see if it is good or bad.

      Has someone already used it?

      Thank you in advance!**

        It won't have any impact defining the format of a class in terms of SEO as he is still defining the actual headers in the code. I have defined h1 and h2 headers as the same class before and had no issue with decent rankings for that content...

          Whilst it is important to get your ordering correct and use appropriate h1,h2 etc tags relevant to their page position - it is not an issue to style these tags in whatever way you like.

          If you want to you could have your first one be a h1 and style it like a h2 and your second be a h2 and style it like a h1 - that's all fine.

          What is bad is to have your first one a h2 and style it like a h1 and so forth.

            There should be no problem with seo, but make sure not everything is marked as h2 =P

              Should be only one H1 and it should appear in the top as the title. You can style it however you want but my thinking is if you style it to look like text and hide it in content somewhere Google may eventually take issue with playing that kind of schtick.

                You've also got to imagine that would be pointless from an end user perspective.
