Header vs. Title Bar Question

Question - Header vs Title Bar from Jenny Durline Jenny Durling Silver Lake, Los Feliz & L.A. properties:

OK, I must really be backwards. I don't know what a header vs a title bar is!!

That's an excellent question. A Header is referred to when writing html code. Header Tags (H1 through H6) are a way for developers to format text and define a web page's organization structure. The text is referred to as Header Text, while the html code is the Head Tag. The biggest bonus of proper Headers and Header Tags is site ranking because if done properly, you've provide the search engine crawler with an easy roadmap of your website.

Unfortunately, Header Tags are more complicated to implement with website builders that offer easy-to-use and build pages. At this point, you really must understand html code. But at this stage of the game, don't worry. There are enough things for you to do to enhance ranking.

A Title Bar is the line of copy that appears in the blue bar at the very top of you computer screen . . . and on the first line of Google, Yahoo and other search engine results. In fact, this line of copy is one of the two lines of copy you control on the search engine results page! More on that in a later post.

Here is an example of a Title Bar from my former website - http://www.floridahomes.pro/MortgageCalculators

Click on the link or paste it into your address bar, then look at the top of your computer screen. You should see this Title Bar . . .

This would also be the very first line that appears in a Google, Yahoo, etc. search that matches the user's search criteria. The next two lines would be copy pulled from the site, and the fourth line, usually in green would be the actual URL. So here you can see how you control the first and last line in search engine results displayed. The middle section in black is selected by secret algorithims.
