I’d only ever use H1 for text.

Great checklist to go buy when starting or revamping a website. I have a question for number 6. Would this apply to the header being an image as well? I thought H1 should be for text markup only. Thank you for any clarification, and thanks for the informative post.

Anthony, no, this isn’t the case. Google may use words from a long title element in its evaluation but it will only display 70 characters to people searching therefore making it short and sweet within 70 characters can help the click through rate. A more relevant looking link in a search will almost always work better.

Same with meta descriptions, only 150 characters will be displayed. My advice isn’t hard and fast, just what we’ve found works.

Id like to comment on the first point for the title tag length. Isn’t the length of your title to be more relevant to your competition’s average title length rather than a set limit? I believe this would also apply to the description and keyword lengths as well.
Thank you for an otherwise interesting article and seo checklist.

Great Checklist especially because you have explained the “why” as well as the “what”.

How about also making sure that you are pointing to your pages with link text that uses your keywords? This would give you a 10th item and then you can claim a Top Ten To Do list!
