create hyperlink within <h1></h1> tags?

[shyspinner]

Is it acceptable to do this? Inserting a hyperlink using keywords in the heading tags?

Thank you, just could not find the answer for this anywhere else.

"acceptable" is a relative term.

I do it on at least 2 webpages, linking all or part of the heading to another internal page. Been this way for over 2 years, no penalty from any SE AFAIK. It also validates with action tag outside header tag. Control appearance with external CSS. As long as it displays as an <H> tag and isn't deceptive, I see no reason not to - others may disagree.
