Use of Header Tags H1 - H4
Hiding this technique behind CSS code so that it does not disrupt the look of the page:

My name is Blank Blank and I would like to thank you for visiting the <H3>Name of page</H3> web site. Here at <H3>Name of page</H3>, quality is our number one priority. It seems that most <H4>manufacturers</H4> quickly forget how important each player really is. At <H3>Name of page</H3>, we take every order with the confidence that we will provide the hardest and longest lasting <H2>manufactured items</H2> on the market.

I have adjusted some of the content to protect the name of my client and what he does but I am sure you get the jist of where this is heading. I am getting conflicting information and not sure how toe proceed here. My seo guy says its ok its ok but my designers who code the site say NO WAY this is spam.

Will this hurt? Will this help?? Does it matter???

Any feedback will be helpful.

Thanks eek

Heading tags are for ... headings. That example is total spam. I'd hope that search engines ban such sites totally.

Run that page through http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html and tick the box for "Show Outline".
On the results page scroll down to the section marked "Outline" and examine the bullet-point list.
If the items in the list do not represent a summary of your page, showing the structure of the markup then you are creating spam.

I agree. It's spam, although doing that will most likely not help ranking much anyway.

I would generally use one heading per page or per "section" of a page.

Overuse of anything is spam.

Thank you....one thing I have learned from this group is if you think it is spam then it probably is spam....if I have to worry about it then it is probably not the best way to go.

Thanks again :D

I'm not sure this is definitely a spam, but I'm sure search engines never like such a site.

Be careful not get banned by search engines.

If you aren't using heading tags only for headings, then it is spam.
