Hi folks,

I have done a search on this, and am struggling to find an answer.

I was wondering if it is possible to use special CSS tags above H1 in order to use as a kind of Master Header.

I am trying to make a Master header for my human visitors, but include the important keyword in the H1 tag underneath, to please GoogleBot.

Please see this link to view the 3 options:

[sorry folks, but I had to remove the 3 dots, just get it to post]

Thank you.

Avery

PS: From reading a good post on this forum regarding the use of H1 to H6 tags, I assume that the enlarged H6 tag is ruled out.

Don't.

The only reason Google even works at all is because it finds and ranks stuff I see as a visitor. If you cannot say what your page is about to humans, then rethink your headers. Headers are there for people. The only reason Google cares about headers is because people care about headers.
The purpose of your site is NOT to please GoogleBot; it's to please ME the human visitor.

That doesn't mean you can't be creative in your header text, but if your grandma thinks it's really weird text, then you did it wrong.

Oh and *in general*, google ignores CSS. It'll use it to pick out hidden text so that it can ignore a site as spam, but otherwise, it doesn't react to CSS. There are human visitors who visit the same way, though.

I'm no expert, but I fake one on teh Internets

Hiding image in CSS

Hi Stomme,

Thanks for getting back to me. I just realized, you wouldn't have been able to see this page, in the last link I sent you:
www law-of-attraction tv/TEST-image-tag html

This was the image version.

And, further to your comment about GoogleBot not going into the CSS file... I have now created a version with the same image file in the CSS only.
Here:

Do you think this would this work better instead?

Thank you for reading Smile

Sorry

I really can't see what you're trying to do. How are your blind visitors supposed to see the super secret text?
