This means that if you can tell google what the heading is without using a -tag that is enough. This is very logical and exactly how google wants it to be. From googles and other SEs point of view it would be very stupid to have a tag in itself to be a ranking factor.

Although Rand pointed out in his presentation that of the 70 odd SEO professional SEOs that were asked in this years "Search Engine Ranking Factors" Survey http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors believed that the H1 (also referred to as the heading tag) DID have a big impact on rankings. Rand continued explaining that according to their data of testing this was not the case. Saying this, I am personally going to continue to include main keywords within the H1 tag of pages as even if it wasn't a major ranking factor it definetly helps stickiness and confirming to searchers that the page is in fact about what they just searched for.

Sometimes you get different advice from different Google employees. @Dixon sorry mate, it was all along I just took away the other link so you wouldn’t get distracted ;)

@Ricky: thanks for pointing out the thread about “length of registering a domain” and although it’s a comment from a Google Employee I wouldn’t necessary not consider registering the domain for a longer period. Sometimes you get different advice from different Google employees.

Shortly after hearing your talk, I came accross this thread at Google webmaster central forums; http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=00acf87986f79dfa&hl=en. It seems that it doesn't matter how long one registers a domain for, it does not affect ones ranking in Google - at least according to John Mu at Google. Just thought I'd shed some light on it :) Hi Lisa, thanks for a great speak at SEMkonferansen!
