Break in H1 tag - big, small or no problem?

[richardpatey]

Hi, I've just taken on a new ski client who offers ski instructor courses. The landing page for the keyword [ski instructor courses] was created by the web agency but with no heading tags...

http://www.snowrehab.com/ski-instructor-courses

Subsequently they've put them in but I've noticed the H1 tag has a break in it where 'ski' is on a separate line to 'instructor courses'

Is this an issue that need to be addressed?

Also I can't look up the page in the Moz on-page grader - any ideas why?

Many thanks!

Richard

Hi Richard

I inspected the markup of your site code and found that in your there is the meta tag

I'd suggest removing this, as this will tell crawlers to only index the first page of your site. Which I doubt is what you want.

As for the multi-line keywords, I think you should be okay. Once Moz can crawl your site you can use the On Page Grading tool to see whether it picks up the keywords in the H1 tags.

Hope this helps, Kraig.

Kraig,

I'd be interested in seeing more about what you're saying regarding the robots meta line. It's specific to each particular page, and doesn't mean to not crawl other pages. Google does currently have a couple of hundred pages indexed from that site right now.

I've just done a little more looking into it, and it turns out that the page with the tag on it is the one that you don't want the crawler to index (which makes more sense)

Google do note that pages can still appear in search results due to a lag time between crawls.

I still think though that is is what could be stopping Moz from crawling the site however, though Roger's just doing what he's told

Hi Richard,

There's no problem with the br tag on your headline. You can install Moz's plugin for Chrome. It's very handy for analysing how robots read your site. Using this tool, under Page Elements you'll see your headline.

Also, I saw you are using Meta Keywords which are useless. You can remove them.

Kraig, I think you are a little bit confused about meta robots. That tag is fine.

Cheers.

Can you tell me what you're seeing when you try to look it up in the on-page grader? Are you getting an error of any type?

[richardpatey]

Hi Keri, I'm getting 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible.'

Any help appreciated - thanks!

It looks like rogerbot is getting a 406 Not Acceptable response when he tries to crawl the URL. At this point, there's not much we could do on our end, it's more a case of getting things fixed by your developer or hosting provider.

Thank you Keri for coming back to clarify the situation.

Richard, here's a useful link you may want that can help you fixing the error 406.

Hope it helps.

Good luck.
