Multiply pages of similair subject not showing up in serps?
-
Hi,
I have a website with a lot of similair subjects. Its a website with around 1000s pages.
For example this website is about "cars" so I wrote a pages about:Green classy cars
Green cars for the summer
Green car show 2013What happens is that on the query of "Green car show". The page green classy cars shows up.
I have the feeling that google takes one page about a similair subject and only put on in the serps. I checked this on multiply pages and this seems the case.
If I search on exact "Green car show 2013" + MY URL, still then its shows indexed but only position 4. Places 1,2,3 shows again other pages of my website with similair subject.
Now my feeling says the other pages have more authority and thats why they show up higher. But then...again now all the content Im adding it isnt showing up..
The last months I added around 300 pages and I did not got one visitor more daily and I have the feeling it is because it are all similair pages and google does not want to show them.
My question is:
Is their something I can still make them show up? Because they do have all 100% unique content and 100% unique images they only have similair subjects.
or
Is their some way I can tell Google that his are really different pages, so this would maybe help?

This could be because of your internal linking or external for that matter.
if links are passing green car relevance and PR to one page more than the other this could be the result.

The other point here is that Google has been working on consolidating results from a single domain

You may simply be working against the updated algo.
Other alternatives would be to build out pages on the same KW for a given property, so you would have your you tube video on Classy Green Cars, then a blog post on a subdomain etc. Then you would avoid the clustering effect.
Another thing to consider is to look at how your site is organized. Make one main page on Green cars and have a ton of info, then have all the other "Green car" related pages link up to the top page.
Unless the search is really long tail it may be hard to find traffic for your other key words etc. Find the biggest key word and focus on that then build the variants and link up to it.
Cheers

If pages are similar Google reserves the write to index what they want. Yes of they are too similar that is whats going to happen.

Best practice for Wordpress /page/2/
I realize that it might be a minor point but it still bugs me. We have a blog with a number of posts. Content of the posts does not expire or age (in the rare case something changes, we do update the information in the posts). The wordpress blog is setup to display our latest posts and displays 15 posts at once. Since we have a lot of content, the older posts get pushed off the front page which is understandable and desirable behavior. However the pages that have older posts have names like "/page/2/", /page/3/, /page/4/ and so on. This does not look very SEO or user friendly to me. What do you think? Did you come up with something better then /page/ and then a number?

Single page verses multiple pages
I am working on a client website that has a Services section. Each service could have its own page. The problem is that some of the sections only have a 3 sentence paragraph. I am not sure if this is enough content to be considered quality. I am of course going to recommend that they revisit their copy and expand on what they do, but the question remains. Is it better to have one lengthy page of services or individual services/page even though the content is light? I know it would benefit from multiple if there was substantial content, but that is not the case in this instance. Thank you!

Simular product pages
I have 27000 products on my website, showed one by one on a separated webpage. Google index them almost all (+- 25000). But the SEOmoz report shows them as duplicated content. Indeed, most of the page is identical, only changing description and price of the product which is indeed not more than 2% of the total content of the page. On the bottom of the product page are shown the alternatives for this product, mainly other colors. So, within the same family of products that can have 50 products, the site creates 50 webpages showing the product and it's family. That's why nearly everything on the page is identical within this family of products. My guess is, as Google indexed them all, I should not worry about duplicated content. Is my guess correct? Thanks for a soon answer. Rik

Different pages with very similar H1's - will I get a penalty?
I currently have text articles about various topics on my site - for this example say I have written about "Negative Reinforcement". This article is live over a month now and getting listed on the first google page with an added keyword which the article is specifically related to. Now I want to create an infographic related to the same topic "Negative Reinforcement" - but I want to call the page this infographic will go on "Negative Reinforcement Infographic" while the article is currently called just "Negative Reinforcement". Neither page will have duplicate content from each other. The article is 2,000+ words so I don't want to throw more into it by adding on the infographic and I want to specifically create the infographic as linkbait and on a stand alone page. I am curious if adding another page with such a similar title and H1 have any negative effect ("dilute" the strength of the other article), for example will google take having two different pages with such a similar heading as potential keyword stuffing and penalise the site?
