Needed Addition - Header (h1, h2 & h3) tags


Google and other search engines like to see header (h1, h2 and h3) tags on pages. This helps search engines determine the context of a page. They arent required, but any help you can give them is good. It also helps adsense determine the context of a page and helps deliver more relevant ads.

Search engines also like to see header tags that match or resemble the page title and description.

W3C (http://www.w3.org/) also recommends the use of header tags as important to the quality construction of a webpage.

vBulletin 3.50 doesnt use header tags in their new design for some reason.
