      Hi Mozzers,

      I'm sitting here going through our site and optimizing all of our content.
      For the most part we've just written without correct keyword research, so the content lacks focus.

      Here is a page I would consider finished - http://www.consumerbase.com/international-mailing-lists.html

      I have our KWs in the:

      • URL
      • Title Tag
      • Meta Description
      • Bolded in Content
      • Image Alt Attribute.

      If I optimize my other pages like this, will I be good?
      It feels a tiny bit stuffed to me, but SEOmoz's on-page tool gives me glowing numbers.

      Thanks!

        You've done a pretty good job there. I would suggest adding some H1's into your content as well and maybe some in-content linking too which can be good for users.

          Hi Zora,

          I would agree with Karl, adding some H1, H2 tags into the flow of your content and link to other pages within your website would not just be good for SEO but the the user experience as well.

            I thought I was only supposed to have one h1 tag per page.
            Is this not correct?

              I think it looks pretty good, and doesn't come across to spammy.

              I can see your main heading at the top is a H1 tag, so that's enough on the H1 tag front.

              You could squeeze in a H2 but only if you think it fits.

              You could try some more semantic words which relate to each other such as 'international' and 'Global' or 'list' and 'database' but I think you might already have these in play.

                This is correct - you are only supposed to have 1 x h1 tag on your page as this stipulates what the main header for your page is.

                You could however mix it up with some h2 and h3 tags as it is ok to use multiple versions of these on any page....but use them in a hierachical order i.e. dont use h3 if you havent used h2 on the page, dont use h4 if you havent used a h2 & h3 etc.

                  Yes you should only have 1 H1 tag per page, I didn't realise the "International Mailing List" was the H1. As Market Stomper said, it was more about UX and separating the paragraphs.
