On a page on my website page I have a list of ALL the products on my site. This list is growing rapidly and I am wondering how to manage it from an SEO point of view. I am shortly adding a title to this section and giving it an H1 tag.Currently the name of each product in this list is not h1,2,3,4 its just styled text. However I was looking to make these h2,3,4.Questions:Is the use of h2,3,4 on these list items bad form as they should be used for content rather than all links?I am thinking of limiting this main list to only 8 items and using h2 tags for each name. Do you this this will have a negative or possible affect over all.I may create a piece of script which counts the first 8 items on the list. These 8 will get the h2, and any after that will get h3 (all styled the same).If I do add h tags should I put just on the name of the product or the outside of the a tag, therefore collecting all info.Has anyone been in a similar situation as this, and if so did they really see any significant difference?

DisgruntledGoat's answer is good, but I'd like to add an answer to a question you should've asked: How do I let Google recognize things like product names on my pages?Actually, there are several ways to do that, but the one I'd recommend is microdata.  For example, for your site you could use the Product and Offer schemas from schema.org, something like this:<div class=listItem itemscope itemtype=http://schema.org/Product&gt    <a itemprop=url title=Tannoy V4 href=/speakers/1/tannoy-v4>        <div class=left>            <img itemprop=image width=173 height=130 alt= src=images/small/TANNOY-V4.jpg>        </div>        <div class=mid>            <div class=title itemprop=name>                <span itemprop=brand>Tannoy</span> <span itemprop=model>V4</span>            </div>            <div class=starRating itemprop=aggregateRating itemscope itemtype=http://schema.org/AggregateRating>                <img width=183 height=32 alt=Five Star Rating src=images/interface/5.gif>                <meta itemprop=ratingValue content=5 />            </div>        </div>        <div class=right>            <div class=now itemprop=offers itemscope itemtype=http://schema.org/Offer>                <span class=listNow>Now <span itemprop=price>280</span></span>            </div>            <div class=save>                <span class=listSave>Save 70</span>            </div>        </div>        <div class=clear></div>    </a></div>(If that example HTML looks familiar, it's because I grabbed it off your site and just added the bits in boldface.)That said, while marking up items in lists shouldn't do any harm, what you really should do is add this kind of microdata markup to the individual product pages.  That way, Google can use it to generate rich snippets for your pages when they appear in search results.  For more information, see Getting started with schema.org.
