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?

Matthew Bredel begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlightingMy name is Matthew Bredel and as of March, 2007, I am a full-time, work-at-home internet marketer. 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"...

Most of you who read my blog know what an information product is and because of that, you probably are quite aware of Clickbank, too.  Clickbank is kind of a haven for affiliate marketers and information product sellers alike.  Since we have been talking about merchant accounts lately, let’s focus on the merchant aspect of Clickbank…

Should you use Clickbank to sell your information product?

Pros:

  • Easy to set up…approval within days
  • No need to go through merchant account creation
  • One-time set-up fee
  • HUGE affiliate network to help promotion
  • Most charging related issues (i.e., refunding, etc.) are managed by Clickbank and THEIR support team

    Cons:

    • High per product selling fees
    • Must have 60 day return policy (usually results in higher return percentages)
    • Limited on pricing limits
    • For recurring fees (like memberships…)
    • Initial price must be equal or higher than recurring price (no trial pricing)
    • Again limited on pricing limits
    • 60 day full money back return even on recurring orders(tough for membership sites!)
    • Clickbank may remove your product at their discretion

    As you can see above, you are sacrificing ease with control.  For most, this is quite acceptable.  Also understand that the affiliate network that it provides is one of the largest in the world (and joining other types of 3rd party networks can sometimes be expensive or non-effective).

    Personally, I think it gets down to your needs.  If you can get away with the pricing limits, refund and marketing restrictions that Clickbank imposes on all of their merchants, using Clickbank is a great idea.  It is a low risk, low cost solution for those selling information products.  Of course, you can always upgrade to your own merchant account in the future.  But realize that most of the people who are successful (meaning 7 figure plus successful!) at selling products on Clickbank choose to stay for both the ease of management as well as the strong affiliate network that it can provide.

    1. This is exactly what happened to me. As a result, I’m removing any funds I have in any bank…opening ‘new accounts’ to avoid attachments, and refusing to pay them a dime further!

    2. Great content and informative topics, I will be back. Every website is different, it is not a question of if it is a Turnkey Website or not, each website should have good page titles, meta decription and relevant content that relates to your most wanted outcome.
