Would you use images inside H1 tags?
-
Hi everyone I know what you are thinking but I am being serious. Would you use images inside H1 tags?
Personally I don't see the benefit having an image included within the H1 tags but when looking at the Apple website today they actually did this.
On http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/#performance they have two H1 tags within the same page. One for an image on top and one for text midway on the page.
**The image tag is **
**The text tag is **
**Siri. The intelligent assistant that helps you get
things done. All you have to do is ask.**
Having two H1 tags in on the same page does not make sense at all and is against SEO best practices but including an image in the H1 tags ? Does anyone know any benefits of doing this?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

If Apple was using that for a clever optimization trick their alt would not be "Picking up where amazing left off."
I would not model my SEO after Apple.

Apple could being doing it, to make other webmasters try it.
Apple is Apple I mean they could probably pass on most of the little stuff that so many people obsess over. They could be running a nefarious plot to make other sites follow bad seo practices thus diluting those sites rankings. Who knows, but it would be hard to hurt their selves with little things.

Thank you EGOL. That is what I thought but wanted to get a second opinion from the SEOMOZ community in case there was a benefit that I was not aware of.
Did you see how Apple was employing H1 for their image in the link above? What are your thoughts that Apple is employing this when we in the community know there is no benefits to doing this.
Very odd of such an organization that is on the edge of technology to employ this. Wouldn't you say?
Thanks again for all your help.

Absolutely NO.
Does anyone know any benefits of doing this?
NO. You never know... it could be a negative.

Htaccess - Redirecting TAG or Category pages
Hello Fellow Moz's, We have an issue redirecting some /TAG and /Category pages to inner pages. As an example we use: RedirectMatch 301 /category/Sample-Category(.*) https://OurDomain.com.au/New-Page//$1 That works well. The issue is we have other categories and tags that are named similar to /Sample-Category As an example, if we try to redirect /Sample-Category-1 to /New-Page-1 - it will not work, and redirects to /New-Page I assume this is because /Sample-Category is already being redirected, so anything after /Sample-Category like -1 or -2 or -3 etc, will not be recognized. Anyone know of a workaround?

Should I use the on classified listing pages that have expired?
We have went back and forth on this and wanted to get some outside input. I work for an online listing website that has classified ads on it. These ads are generated by companies on our site advertising weekend events around the country. We have about 10,000 companies that use our service to generate their online ads. This means that we have thousands of pages being created each week. The ads have lots of content: pictures, sale descriptions, and company information. After the ads have expired, and the sale is no longer happening, we are currently placing the in the heads of each page. The content is not relative anymore since the ad has ended. The only value the content offers a searcher is the images (there are millions on expired ads) and the descriptions of the items for sale. We currently are the leader in our industry and control most of the top spots on Google for our keywords. We have been worried about cluttering up the search results with pages of ads that are expired. In our Moz account right now we currently have over 28k crawler warnings alerting us to the being in the page heads of the expired ads. Seeing those warnings have made us nervous and second guessing what we are doing. Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Should we continue with placing the in the heads of the expired ads, or should we be allowing search engines to index the old pages. I have seen websites with discontinued products keeping the products around so that individuals can look up past information. This is the closest thing have seen to our situation. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated! -Matt

Null Alt Image Tags vs Missing Alt Image Tags
Hi, Would it be better for organic search to have a null alt image tag programatically added to thousands of images without alt image tags or just leave them as is. The option of adding tailored alt image tags to thousands of images is not possible. Is having sitewide alt image tags really important to organic search overall or what? Right now, probably 10% of the sites images have alt img tags. A huge number of those images are pages that aren Thanks!

Need advice and smart solution for H1
Hi! I've been quite a long time trying to find a solution to the html structure of a webpage that I'am auditing right now. But I need your valuable help! The problem is the following: Actually, they have different sections inside. The structure is something like this Masters - Degrees - Programs - About us - News And if you go to the Masters Section you will find something like this Masters Master number 1 in Tourism (brand.com/master/master-number-1-tourism) Presentation
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | teconsite
(brand.com/master/master-number-1-tourism) Objectives
(brand.com/master/master-number-1-tourism/objectives) Professional opportunites
(brand.com/master/master-number-1-tourism/professional-opportunities) Faculty
(brand.com/master/master-number-1-tourism/faculty) Qualification
(brand.com/master/master-number-1-tourism/qualification) Financial
(brand.com/master/master-number-1-tourism/financial) Master number 2 with a long name Presentation Objetives Profesisional opportunities Faculty ... Master number 3 in Sports and so on The Degrees section, has inside exactly the same structure with the same names. My doubt is related with the use of h1 tag What would be the best h1 strategy for each content page? Each master has 6 pages (presentation, objectives, faculty,...) For page Objetives,
brand.com/master/master-number-1-tourism/objectives If I choose to use as H1 just the word Objetives, what will happen is that I will have a lot of pages (one per master, degree or program), with the same H1, because each master will have its own page Objectives. If we have 10 masters + 10 degrees + 2 programs y will have 22 pages with the same H1 Objecives If I choose to use as H1 the following: "Objectives of the Master Number 1 in Tourisim and so on with long name" it will be difficult for the users to visually see the difference between the different pages. for instance Objectives of the Master Number 1 in Tourisim and so on with long name and Faculty of the Master Number 1 in Tourisim and so on with long name because they only differ in one word. What do you think of this solution? Objectives Master Number 1 in Tourisim and so on with long name is it correct to do this inside the h1? or would you use combinations of h1 and h2 like these
h1: Objectives
h2: Master Number 1 in Tourisim and so on with long name would be this appropiate?0 -
Does a UTM tag influence the linkvalue?
Will Google value a link with a UTM tag the same as a clean link without a UTM tag? I should say that a UTM tag link is not a natural link so the linkvalue is zero. Anyone any idea how to look at this?
