h1 tags

Could someone explain in newbie terms what h1 tags are and please take a look at this site and sugggest where and if they should be used . www.doxieland.com

Hi

Even being a newbie to this forum I can see the problem with your code - too much before you even get to see the "actual copy" content on the page - put all your scripts in external files and reference from the html.
All those fancy scripts for window status and so on you should abandon - too much code for spiders to trawl through.

"MINIATURE DACHSHUND PUPPIES FOR SALE !!!" should be your H1 tag and you should use h2 tags further on down as well (for important keywords in the copy as headings).

I would also get rid of your image based menu and use text links - you can create some nice styles using CSS.

Sorry - importance of H1 tag - Search Engines figure it as an important heading so attach weight to it.
If you don't like the size it displays at you can alter it using CSS (again, use an external CSS file and reference it from your HTML to avoid having all that CSS code appear before the actual copy on the page.

Just a quick tip to help the flow of PR around your site:

You might want to make sure that all links back to your home page are formatted as just:

URL

This is instead of the following that you currently use:

URL

Thanks to both of you for the above comments.I will correct asap. About putting scripts in external files, How is that accomplished ?(sorry for my ignorance but I am on a steep learning curve.)

Hi Key

Put this in the head section

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="swap.js">
</script>

Attached is the Swap image restore script which you should put in the root directory - I have given it a .txt suffix to upload to this forum, change this to .js

You can follow the same for the rest - check and test all of them one by one as you add.

Also, write some more copy for your page (esp. homepage) that includes target keywords.
