Optimize Blog Post Title with H2 for Better SEO

All of you bloggers may be familiar with headline tags that start from H1 and go up to H6 in decreasing order of size. You should know that they really play immense importance in your blog template optimization. Headlines, bolded and highlighted text draw attention. By default all blogger templates are designed such that the H1 tag is given to Homepage Main Title, H2 is given to Blog Description or Header dates, sidebar headers and H3 is assigned for post titles. While the fact is that your Post titles are the second most important part of your blog after the main title.

Its your post titles that ping search engines on an update and are indexed and crawled by search engine robots. Actually in SEO the post title is referred as the KING whiles post content is referred as the QUEEN. So if the king is treated with H3 tag instead of H2 tag then I guess you must re-plan your Traffic campaign.
