Changing the Font & Style of Your H1 Tags

QUESTION: (Rhonda) I am having problems changing the font size of my H1text. Is this very important? If so, how do I go about changing it?

Changing the text and/or style of an H1 tag is simple in CSS.  It does not affect anything other than how the visitor sees it though (i.e., if you use a large font, it means nothing more than a smaller font, in SEO terms or how Google sees it).

You can change the H1 tag locally or in the CSS definition file.

If you want to change all of the H1 tag settings in your entire website, you would do this in the CSS file:

h1 {
font-size: 24px;
}

You would use the h1 tag as you normally would:
<h1>This is my H1 tag</h1>

You can define a class in the CSS file which allows you to define your new style whenever you wish anywhere on the site:

.h1style {
font-size: 24px;
}

You would add this class to your h1 tag, when you wish it:

<h1 class=”h1style”>This is my H1 Tag</h1>

* Remember to add the “.” when defining it in the CSS to classify it as a class.

Finally, you can do it locally using a style attribute (without the CSS file):

<h1 style=”font-size:24px;”>This is my H1 Tag</h1>

All of the above do the exact same thing.  Their use is based on how often you use the style and how you want it defined (whether globally or locally).

Also, remember you can add other styles to the same definition (like color):

<h1 style=”font-size:24px; color:red;”>This is my H1 Tag that is Red and 24px high</h1>

I find that being able to change the styles of my text for header and other standard tags to be quite invaluable!  Knowing a little bit of CSS can go a long way.  Give this a try!

The easiest thing to try first is the local definition using the style attribute. If this is working for you, consider creating or editing your own CSS file!

Good luck!  cheers…matt

Who is Behind Marketing Mind?

For close to 10 years, I worked for a defense company which was an OK job, but I was so uninspired in life and frankly, I needed some more money. That is when I first discovered internet marketing! Now I admit that I didn't start making thousands in my first couple of months (in fact, I lost my shirt!), but I finally saw the "internet light"...

In my past post about reciprocal linking, I went over the importance of backlinks and how 2-way reciprocal linking is dead. I then went further in the strategy of three-way and n-way linking and posed the notion that this strategy is much more effective in the current state of the internet.

In my past post about reciprocal linking, I went over the importance of backlinks and how 2-way reciprocal linking is dead. I then went further in the strategy of three-way and n-way linking and posed the notion that this strategy is much more effective in the current state of the internet.

But now the important question:  How do you do it?

Before it was easy:  “You put my link on your site and I will put yours on mine.”

But now we introduce a third website.  What is this “third” website and how am I going to sell this idea to an external webmaster?

First, the trick to this all is to have a third site that won’t scare off the prospect.  Second, the second website is YOUR website.  Third, if the other party knows anything about SEO and link building, they should love the idea of this!

I do this all of the time!  My favorite “third” website is simply my blog! And if you don’t have one, you should get one! Either install a Wordpress blog (like this one) or use a simple hosted blog system like Blogger.com (which literally will take 5 minutes to set up).

Here is the concept mapped out:

Three-way Recipracol Link

In this case, you simply have the other part link to your blog while you link to them from your money site (or vice versa!).  Remember that search engines LOVE blogs from an SEO stand-point.  Offering to either link from your blog or to your blog only creates creditability in all directions.  There are no 2-way links and the other party is either going to get a link from your high PR money site or your lower PR, higher respected blog.  They win either way!  (And remember that this helps relieve some of the fear of link farming to other perspective websites)

But now your comment to me is:  Now I am not getting a direct link to my website!

True, but now you are building something bigger and more powerful!  Instead of trying to build one site with large amount of  backlinks, you are building your own authority website (with your blog) that is going to receive exclusive linkage back to your money site.

The Page Rank funnel will go back to your money site, and more effectively, too.  The two-way link would not have been worth much anyway.  But a link channeled through a blog (that has many other one-way links pointing to it) is going to create some authoritative momentum.

Again, I do this all of the time and I find that people are more welcoming to a link exchange, my  sites get indexed faster and more often, and at the end of the day, I find that I have TWO websites with high page rank and authority instead of one.

It is a win-win situation all around!
