@C_RebeccaDec 01.2011 — In my opinion, Heading tags (H1 to H6) are not a part of meta tags (meta description tag, meta title tag, meta http-equiv tag, meta refresh tag, etc..).Meta tags are usually used to provide meta information to SE’s while header tags are for users.

Example being

<head>

<meta name="description" content="Free Web tutorials" />

<meta name="keywords" content="HTML,CSS,XML,JavaScript" />

<meta name="author" content="Hege Refsnes" />

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />

</head>

Heading tags( <H1>....</H1>) are used to display headings ranging from h1 to h6. <h1> defines the most important heading while <h6> defines the least important heading. Search engines use your headings to index the structure and content of your web pages.

@Ecom-host-guruDec 18.2011 — A H1 tag is not a meta tag as described above but they ARE important for search engine rankings just like the content on the page and everything else about it is important. Search engines will analyze the entire page and not just the meta tags for search engine listings.

It has a little bit value on eye of Google. Google make some more attention of h1
