: Bing webmaster tool's SEO reports complain about multiple tags? I have analyzed my websites in Bing Webmaster Tools and it's showing the error “There are multiple <h1> tags on the page.”

I only see one H1 tag in your pages as well. I'm not sure why Bing is telling you that there are multiple.

Even if there were multiple H1 tags, its not a problem that I would take the time to fix. There should be only one <title> tag in a page, but multiple <h1> tags can make sense as headings to equal major sections within the page.

Google doesn't have a problem with multiple H1 tags in a page. Google's Matt Cutts says that multiple H1 tags (in moderation) are just fine with Google's ranking algorithms.

If you get the majority of your traffic from Bing, then you might want to try to figure out how to make it happy. Your site would be the rare site if Google doesn't contribute 10x the amount of traffic that Bing does.
