Using meta keywords
Hi, Yes/No, it is true the meta keywords are not used by the BIG search engines such as Bing, Google, Yahoo, Ask but what do we know about the smaller engines? People are still using them for small engines that still uses meta keywords and might still be passing them traffic. For example, I believe Baidu (China search engines) still uses meta keyword. I may be outdated on that. Yes, true but even without the meta keywords, competitors can tell from your URL, Title tag, and content of the page. Nothing to hide in the SEO world. Like what I said in #1, BIG engines don't use it or just ignores it. Actually, for News websites, Google allows them to use meta keywords; however, with certain restrictions.

Using H1 in a carousel
Hi Asaff, Moz recommends using a H1 tag only once on your page (although its not a significant disadvantage to have multiple, and they only did correlation tests, and as they always say "correlation does not mean causation!"). If the carousel is rotating it visually, it probably isn't rotating it code wise. To do so would require an AJAX call and if it did do an AJAX call on the H1 tag it wouldn't get displayed to Google. So either you will have multiple H1 tags or 1 H1 tag with multiple tags not being indexed. The first would be a slight disadvantage, the second even more so. The first is not a huge problem. Probably best if you swap them out for H2 but this discussion here, might set your mind to rest. http://moz.com/community/q/h1-tag-proper-uses Adam
