    I'm enough keen to find a firm answer and clear decision on the issue that whether more than one H1 tag is safe for a page or not. As SEO tools use to signal negative if a page contents more than one H1 tag, but for my blog site in case of more than one article in one page can't be kept only one H1 tag. In this circumstance, what will be the best and perfect decision ?

    The presence of H1 tags can actually make or break your online ranking and search performance. It's no longer the single most important factor for increasing page rank but it's nevertheless important. Experts always advice anyone doing SEO to set their keywords in bold. With H1 tag, you not only satisfy this requirement but the keywords have bigger fonts which make it easier for search engines to crawl pages.

    The H1 tag is the most important heading because it’s the highest level tag that shows what your specific page is about. Search engines generally give this tag more weight over other headings, so it usually improves your search engine ranking when you use it correctly and in conjunction with other onsite SEO techniques.

    Correlation studies have posited that Google adds some weight to H1 elements (and other studies claim the contrary).

    While the THEORY of a benefit is sound, for me there is little hard evidence that H1-H6 headings improve seo performance (in Google). I would CERTAINLY NOT want to see a keyword phrase I am targeting appear in every Heading element.

    Use <h1> for top-level heading

    Hi, according to Google webmaster guidelines the H1 tag is the second most important element (after page title and meta description) that should focus on your main targeted keyword based on quality contents.

    Each of your page should contains one h1 tag only. I recommend you to have one article each page and properly optimize your h1 tag following primary targeted keyword. Suppose if you need to keep more than one articles in a page then you can use h2 tags for creating each articles headings in same page.

    H1 tag is important. It will improve the rankings if your content is lacking relevance.

    H1 tag is used to highlight the main keyword(s) in the website.
