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"...

(Continuing from The Frustrated Affiliate Marketer Part V: Your First Blog)

Your blog is now up and running!  You’ve tested your affiliate links.  And you’ve gotten your Google Pay-Per-Click Ads all set up.  At first, you are a little bit disappointed still on how few clicks you are getting.  Your Click Through Rate (CTR) is rather lower than expected (<1%) and you are receiving approximately 25-30 visitors per day.  Not bad, but you expected more (especially with all of the work you did to create your landing page).  You are tempted to raise your bids from about $0.20 to $0.50, but you remember Matt telling you not to get over-anxious with your bidding at first.  You choose to stick with your plan and live with the 25 clicks per day. 

Day three passes.  About 82 visitors…no sales.  Day five passes.  About 130 visitors…no sales. 

“Does internet marketing work?”, you ask yourself.  “Is Matt and the rest of the internet world full of you-know-what?”

Day Eight:  You Get a Sale!  At 212 visitors, you get your first sale for $16.  You have spent close to $40 on PPCs, but you do not care.  That first sale feels AWESOME!   And you start to think to yourself:  “Maybe there is something to this!”

********************************************************

Some of you may be saying:  “But I just lost $24!”  This is true.  We are not making money yet, but we did achieve a major goal:

  • Someone read OUR ad
  • Came to OUR website
  • Clicked on OUR link
  • Bought a product. 

Four things needed to happen for this to work and at our direction, someone reached this goal.  Is this a time to celebrate?  YOU BETCHA!  Realize that most internet marketers have quit by this point.   When this happened to me for the first time, it made me realize that there was hope in succeeding in this online marketing business.  This first sale is one of the biggest hurdles in learning how to make money online.  Now I do not recommend to go out and spend $100s of dollars on PPCs to make this first sale.  Realize, too, that part of the success of this sale is due to the fact that we stuck to our game plan.  We did not over-indulge in paying for advertising.  Everything we did, we did using strategy and patience.  It is continuing to apply more strategies and patience that will result in us starting to make a profit.
