    The H2, H3… are also important – good to include your main keywords in it.
    Now, for repeating, I’m not really sure. I have seen sites ranked incredibly high with the keywords mentioned in H1 2-3 times. I guess that 2 time is ok. 3, maybe not. I would avoid stuffing too.

    I completely agree with many of the points that has been raised in this article. Title tags is one of most important factor that’s help the search engine to determine the relevancy of the page against search query. Search engine plays special attention on phrases or words written in title tags. Thus instead of using title “information” which doesn’t provide any relevancy give some more relevant words or phrases like title “web application development information” . Every word in the title tag must be contained some whereon the page they are used for. Your goal is to promote your web page and read it by your desired audience. Title tag will help you to achieve this. Just try to keep your titles readable, inviting, and with the correct use and placement of keyword phrases a huge first step towards gaining desired placement and visits.
