Header tags in HTML

Whats In Name · 2013-01-16T01:35:21+00:00

I came to know that <h1> tag doesn't only adjusts the size of the text within it, but also nominates the text for search engines,i.e text written within header tag is more likely to be recognized by the search engines than other text in the webpage. So,the question here is, does the text within this tag is given more priority than the other text,although the other text is greater in size?,i.e.Does it depends on size of text in any case?

No there is no relation with size..
Even you can resize using h1,h2,h3,h5...

It actually depends on search engine logic. Different Search engines seem to use different criteria for keyword detection.

Okay, let's first understand what these 'tags' are. H1 - H6 are basically the 'title' tags - so that the text can be properly organised into various headings. As per the set norms, H1 is the top title tag with the highest importance and H6 has the lowest.

Search engines, at least the major ones like Google & Bing, would give a lot of important to H1 tag, simply because it tells them about the topic of the article.

For example, on CE, the title of every thread is tagged 'H1', because it tells the search engine what the topic is about. Then the search engines will use their own algorithms to figure out the overall worth of the article. The whole process is complicated; but the answer to your questions whether H1 tags are treated specially is yes.
