All other sub headings are H2s I currently am practicing using only one H1 per post preferablyat the top. If I was really trying to rank for a specific phrase on this page I would have put ONLY that phrase in the H1 but this was an instructional post so I just named it according to what it is, which is better for the end user in this case I believe. Now you must have read this post while we were editing the back end of the theme to allow for H1s as the title had a style setting of display:none for H1s until later this afternoon. To reference other sites, there are many inbound linking factors that will affect the factors higher than H1 tags, as well as domain age and keyword density. Magic Mountain Man,

This post is titled with an H1 surrounding How to Write Blog Posts that Rank Well in Search Engines which is the heading.

All other sub headings are H2s

I currently am practicing using only one H1 per post preferablyat the top.

The alt attribute purpose is to give an indication of the content for text-browsers (such as google’s craw ler). I notice your post is not titled with an H1, but an H2. I don’t think you should be perpetuating the unproven theory that each page should only have one H1 tag without presenting the possibility that the first HN tag is most important. For reference, refer to sites beating us for terms such as “PPC management”; they don’t do the tiered heading strategy and have many H1 tags on their pages. Finally, a stylesheet should style an HN, not require a specific class named after the element - this is as bad CSS design as naming classes after colours. >”the title is for google and the alt is for the user who mouses over the image and gets a description.”

Jeez! When i spoke with the CEO of Powerset in November he said they were going to release the open beta in December of 07. I guess it took a little longer than they expected. I suspect it will take several more years for their technology to really mature and begin to impress us- but - like the poster above me said, " welcome the Semantic Web!!

Searching within Wikipedia has always been difficult. It seemed like you had to get EVERYTHING right, even capitalization, in order to find what you were looking for. Searching through Google meant that Wiki results were likely, but not guaranteed to be numerous. This changes everything. I'm not sure how well the actual format will compare to Google's, but it's off to a good start in Wiki. Wow, this is really impressive! Searching within Wikipedia has always been difficult.
