Always shows homepage in google

We have www.powerwale.com (homepage)
and powerwale.com/inverter-battery
pages
whenever there is a inverter battery online keyword search happens in google, google shows only homepage in the results, even we have seo optimised the inverter battery page,seperately above..

of homepage...Appreciated your ideas.. Thanks

Regardless of the specific reasons, the underlying issue is that, for whatever reason, Google sees the homepage as a better result to show folks searching for [car battery] than the car battery page.
I'm seeing a slightly higher page authority for the home page (23 vs. 20 for /car-battery which, granted, isn't all that big of a difference). The total link count is quite different, though—the home page has 68, and /car-battery has 22.
Also, it looks like the content on /car-batter is pretty thin, and doesn't seem like it'd be especially helpful for someone shopping for a car battery. The interface on that page is much less intuitive, as well,
I can't be 100% positive, but if I had to guess I'd say that Google is preferentially serving the home page because it's a better-developed page with a stronger link profile. If you'd like the category-specific pages to be ranking instead, I'd suggest creating a better user experience on those pages and attracting some links to them.
Make sense?

Thanks! Sorry
lets take car battery and search it in google.co.in and go to 2nd page
https://www.google.co.in/?gws_rd=ssl#q=car+battery&start=10
you can see www.powerwale.com,
but we have a page for www.powerwale.com/car-battery (specifically meant for car battery)
Pls suggest wht should I do..

Hi Abdul,
Can you give a little more information regarding the circumstances you are seeing this? If it is any consolation, when I perform a search for the term [inverter battery] in Google.co.in, I see your inverter battery page at the bottom of page 3 (I do not see your homepage ranking). I am performing the search from the UK, with Chrome in an incognito tab.
Adam.

Google Adword Keyword Planner
Previously I always utilsed the Google Adword Keyword Tool to provide traffic estimations in order to assist with my keyword research. I have recently revised these levels of traffic using the new Keyword Planner. Local Traffic results are approximately have fallen approximately 85%, I have anaylsed this over approximately 50 results. I am aware that the new Keyword Planner does not have a local traffic column anymore so I have utilised the location filter. I have the same problem in all my campaigns, in two different countries, please can someone advise why this is and how I can collect accurate keyword data. Kind regards

Will words added to the end of my title make the page in question less relevant in Google's eyes?
Hey guys, I've always wondered about this. Say I'm targeting the keyword "how to sell your house" but I find it a bit bland or generic and my client actually offers a service more in line with "how to sell your house quickly" - say that's their USP for example. I still want to rank for the broader version however, because far fewer people are searching for the "quickly" version - and it stands to reason that if searchers can solve the same problem quickly, they'll want that version of the solution anyway. So will adding the word "quickly" to the end of the keyword I'm targeting (and using that in my Title, H1, URL, description tags etc) make Google see my client's page/site as less relevant to a broader search term like the more generic "how to sell your house", that I'm trying to rank for? Thanks 🙂

Big difference in rank on google.com and google.no
Hi Our E-com website went from 8th to 1st spot yesterday for our most important keyword (barneklær = childrens clothing) on google.no weirdly enough we arent ranking on first page at all on google.com . I find this very strange especially since the keyword itself is so country specific - mainly because of the norwegian specific letter - æ. The results are not due to personalization i ve check it with the keyword difficulty tool here on seomoz. The sites ranking higher then me on google.com are sites i am ranking higher then on google.no. Anyone got a good explanation ? The changes for my keyword in ranking i saw yesterday was alot more then i am used to see - almost like google made some sort of script change. we went from 8th to 1st. 1st dropped to 4th, 5ht went to 2nd etc - i am not used to seeing this big changes. Anyone got a clue to either of these 2 questions ?

Google search results
Does Google always return the results of a search query in a broad based fashion if the searcher does not use brackets or quote marks? Or, do they display the older domains of sites with authority under the broad based parameters and newer sites only if there is a possible exact match? How does Google decide which type of search results to display? Thanks for any insight. I

Is there a way to tell google to ignore keywords in Webmaster Tools?
In Google Webmaster Tools for my site, the #1 keyword is "ago", probably because we format datestamps like "3 days ago". Is there a way to tell google not to count the word "ago"? Seems like a common enough word that google should be ignoring it. I have a feeling the answer to my first question is "NO!", so my follow-up question is: is there a best practice for formatting dates for SEO? Thanks!
