Not really considering that's the topic of the discussion. The orginal post is about placing an h1 around the logo and then using an additional H1 in the page. As I said in an earlier email. The reason why logos were being used with H1 tags is because they are usually placed at the start of a document and therefore they could be used to maintain the correct page structure when a website was using a multi-column layout. Wrapping a logo with an H1 purely for SEO purposes is not a good practice. Repeating keyword heavy titles sitewide is also bad SEO.

My point wasn't arguing that someone said it's wrong to t include a tagline on every page. It's more about this: in some situations, logo use in the website, isn't the same as it's used in conventional manner that we see on print media. I view that Page title is an important element for a page, considering that not everyone visits a site always lands in the homepage first, a page within a website can be treated as a unique and single 'entity', in this sense, I don't see it inappropriate to have logo and tagline repeated in every page wrapped in H1, when the page title can do the work. Example: I see this equally bad About Us page Page title: About Us - company name H1: About Us as you see this bad idea Page title: About Us H1 : logo with tagline > It is a bad idea however if you make it a H1 and then have that repeat > on every page. It's bad idea because you and I and are standing on different sides of the hill, and the view you and I see are different. So there is no bad or better in an absolute point of view. I use h1 for most important heading when I consider the logo doesn't deserve H1. > > Do you include a second H1 on the page too? No? A bit arrogant question.
