Navigation links tagged as H3
-
I'm reviewing a website that has used the H3 tag in the Navigation Menu.
I've not seen that before and first thought is it is a dodgy. Tags should relate to content on the page not link to another page.
As a result of using H3 in Nav the ratio of content wrapped in Heading tags vs body content is quite high.
My recommendation is to remove H3 tag from Nav but having searched Moz and not finding an article to verify that recommendation thought I'd ask the question.

You are correct.
If I were a search engine, I would see this as spam. Using html5 and schema.org you can tel the search engine exactly what is what in your site. place the navigation within a
<nav>tag and remove the h3s</nav>

Thank you Alan.
