Many WebmasterWorld members recommend that you include your keyword in:

<h1>
Bold
Underline
Italics
etc...

However, now that I am writing articles to follow this advice I am having trouble using all of these in one article.

I understand that <h1> is used in the article's title, however when do you use bold, underline, or italics in your articles?

<h1> should only be used for the page title. Use bold and italics etc only if they are needed! Eg: within a paragraph.

Try to structure your document like this:

<h1>title of site or page</h1>

<h2>subtitle if any</h2>

<h3>Other titles further down</h3> (and <h4>,<h5>,<h6> etc)

<p>The article itself! Might include any non-header tags such as <em>, <strong> or lists etc.</p>

Don't try and cram everything into an <h1>. Remember, pages need to work for speech readers and surfers, not just search engines.
