I want to explain my problem with H1 tags.

Does it matter to me rather you use them or not?

Not At All, I Could Care Less.

But there are SEO’s out there making a living fixing Meta keyword tags, submitting sites to the search engines and adding header tags to pages.

I have to wonder when the last time any of those added one visitor to a website.
Yet they are the backbone to many SEO firms.

The SEO industry as a whole has gotten a bad name from SEO’s posting information on forums that’s outdated and no longer works or has never worked. And then others or the same SEO’s taking that information and selling it to clients as a service.

I’ve worked on many sites and have added and removed more header tags then I care to talk about, or for that fact could even try and remember. And I can honestly say that not one site visitor was added or lost from removing or adding header tags.

Header tags don’t make a difference when it comes to search engine rankings or at least on Google and at this moment they send more traffic than all the others combined.

I’ve never tested them on Yahoo or MSN so really have not got a clue about their affects on those search engines.

I live in Colombia S.A and the one thing I’ve noticed is the things the government controls never work correctly. Makes me wonder why people would send their kids to them to be educated.

I was reading an article today by John Taylor Gatto and in the article he says that he is quitting and will no longer be teaching.

I just can’t do it anymore. I can’t train children to wait to be told what to do; I can’t train people to drop what they are doing when a bell sounds; I can’t persuade children to feel some justice in their class placement when there isn’t any, and I can’t persuade children to believe teachers have valuable secrets they can acquire by becoming our disciples. That isn’t true.

Government schooling is the most radical adventure in history. It kills the family by monopolizing the best times of childhood and by teaching disrespect for home and parents.

The best part of the article was this;

Good schools don’t need more money or a longer year; they need real free-market choices, variety that speaks to every need and runs risks.

We’ve allowed the government to come in and slowly take charge of assuring our enjoyment and fate. It has absolute power and a desire to be the agent in charge of our happiness.

It provides our security and anticipates our needs. It has developed a society of networks for regulations used to control us. It didn’t break our will but slowly softened it and bent it until they were able to direct us and heard us like sheep.

The government is destroying the free market and if the people around the world don’t make a stand our children will never run their own business or the one we’ve crawled, scrapped and bleed for. We need people in charge that understand the small business owner is the backbone for any economy.
