Optimize H1,H2 & H3 heading tags for better seo in Blogger

One of the basic SEO tips that a goal-oriented blogger must apply in his HTML document is the proper use of HEADER Tags. As we all know that there are six (6) heading tags namely: - H1, H2, H3,H4, H5 and H6. Among these six tags, H1 tag is the most important tag followed by H2, H3 and so on. By default (not yet customized) Blogger uses H1 tags for the blog title (ex. Bloggingtips and trix), H3 for post titles (ex. How To Add Hover Effect To Images In Posts) and H2 for sidebar titles (ex. Popular Posts!). Having proper weighted headings is really important from an SEO perspective since search engines use headings to get an idea  or summary of what your post is all about and this article will help you to assign heading tags based on its importance.
