I tried surfing about this thing on google and I got the explanation that on wordpress.com, tagline are what they call description.. So, I tried both ways, I kept the tagline long and short too but in both the cases error was same.

@raincoaster Actually, the main problem is that not only the posts are assigned h1 tags but also the widget titles are assigned the same tag (as bing is showing).. So, even if you go on some page on the site (other than home page), you will get the same error of multiple h1 tags.

I don't know what to do.. I really want to stick with this theme, its working out fine for me.. Can anyone flag this question for the wordpress.com staff??

You could use a different theme or reduce the number of posts that are displayed on the main page, but I doubt that this is a serious problem.

I'm using "From Dusk Til Dawn" and getting dinged on the same thing. According to Bing its a "high" priority, so I'm looking to fix it quick. And not only that, but also "too long or too short title" and "too short, or too long description." If you're not getting those I'm thinking its more of a theme issue and both you and me are going to need to change themes to something more SEO friendly. But I'd love to hear from some other more experienced people before I jump to any other themes, I really like the one I'm using.

I am using Oxygen theme for my blog. When I use the Bing SEO analyzer for my blog, it shows the following error "There are multiple <h1> tags on the page."..

Please recommend what should I do in order to overcome this error and is this error going to affect my search ranking in any way? Any help would be deeply appreciated..!

I'm usually getting comments (spam?) that recommends some kind of SEO to increase ranking but I don't know if a free wordpress blog can do better then by tags. i think your question about html is a good one and probably possible if you know what you are doing in code. Keywords are one way to improve search ranking. Keywords (tags) and content should match. I don't know everything about it but there are some good sites for checking on SEO that are free. Hubspot is one. Good luck, I like your blog and I like to cook, too. I'm not the fussy eater in my house though. I usually end up cooking two meals. Cheers. --Jeff

Is it based on tags? Can free WordPress hosted blogs include HTML code to boost search ranking? How are others getting better search ranking?

You can also through webmaster tools ask google to reverify your site.

In webmaster tools, you can submit URL's of your own stuff to have them remove them from their indexes. It typically will take 2-3 weeks for google to get them removed. Sometimes sooner.

Generally it is a really bad idea to publish stuff and then a while later delete them. You will always suffer in the end due to the 404 errors and cranky search engines.

And Google is not your only problem. Any search engine that has indexed those posts will be getting 404's, and getting cranky also.

Set up the Webmaster Tools and discovered that I had 67 404s (as a result of the post deletion issues described above). These appeared on the same day I disappeared from Google. I realise this could be a coincidence, but I'm concerned the two are related. Is it possible to delete a post without ending up with these crawl errors or do I just have to sit it out?

It seems very unlikely your private post is related.

You're still in Google's index: http://ismyblogworking.com/thetruthaboutbreastfeeding.com

Most likely Google is playing funny games again. Hopefully it is only temporary. You can check that nothing is wrong by setting up Webmaster Tools:

Could it be the scraping that's causing a problem?

Speculating, I'd say unless the posts you set to Private or Draft were your most popular, it's unlikely they're a factor.

Within 24 hours, I've all but disappeared from google. Is there any chance these things are linked? The only other thing which might be causing a problem is that I've been scraped a few times recently.

Thanks!
