TH as a header

TH the same as H1, H2...?

Hi! I'm using CSS and TH as a header-cell where I've put the keyword-phrase for the page. I wonder if TH has the same value as H1, H2...in the search-engines eyes and popularity?

Kind Regards

If I have an entire page optimized for a phrase it is difficult to tell if TH is given any weight. All I can say about it is that if the TH keyphrase is consistent with the page focus then it won't hurt.

I never create pages without an H1 tag.

Everything contained in the table should relate to your TH tag though, and if the items in the table relate to the TH tag but aren't consistent with the title of the page then perhaps that table needs a page devoted to it?

Thanks digitalghost, for your reply.

I think it's Ok then to continue using Th with keywords. As I have the same keyword-phrase in the titel and all over the page.
