Additional Pages in SERP
-
Hi Mozers,
Can anybody help me with this.
For "keyword phrase" SERP looks like this:
4. mysite.com/page2 ...
13. Mysite.com/page3
14. Mysite.com/page4
Is it possible to include Mysite.com/page3-4 both to the top 4th-5th, or better merge this pages and promote only one?
Thanks.

I never like to limit anything.
Before you merge or remove pages you should look at analytitcs to be sure that you know the TOTAL TRAFFIC for these pages and not simply the traffic for the targeted keyword. It is possible that these pages have enormous long tail traffic.
This is not a simple.. yes... no.... question. All of these pages have value in many ways.

keyword.com is totally unreachable at this stage.
I've proposed that google limit number of my urls on 1st page. Before mysite.com is not #1. Have you any thoughts about this?
Anyway now i am going to keep all #4 pages and use videos, Thank you for analysis.

It is difficult to give a good answer to this.
If you can move #13 and #14 up to position #10 they will merge with your other pages to occupy #3, #4, #5, and #6.
You wonder about merging the pages and promoting only one.... here is an analysis...
If KW.com defeats you by a slight margin you might gain by merging some of these pages if they are on the same topic, and each have unduplicating links from outside your domain.
In that situation you might instead simply promote the page at #3 with the hope of it moving to #1.
However, if KW.com has you beaten by an ENORMOUS margin then it would be best to optimize your title tags to steal their traffic. For example, you can shout your value propositions such as free shipping, kickass prices, free pdf instructions... or shout about other things that differentiates you such as videos, exciting content, free beer.

Weight of content further down a page
Hi, A client is trying to justify a design decision by saying he needs all the links for all his sub pages on the top level category page as google won't index them; however the links are available on the sub category and the sub category is linked to from the top level page so I have argued as long as google can crawl the links through the pages they will be indexed and won't be penalised. Am I correct? Additionally the client has said those links need to be towards the top of the page as content further down the page carries less weight; I don't believe this is the case but can you confirm? Thanks again, Craig.

Duplicate pages and Canonicals

What to do with Authoritative footer pages?
Alo everyone! The site I'm working on has had a homepage that essentially used the footer as the main form of navigation on the site and the PA of each of those pages reflects that. I'm helping them re-organize the site (I'm still a noob though), and was curious for some input on this particular situation. Some of the most authoritative pages are: 1. www.charged.fm/privacy - PA 29 2. www.charged.fm/terms - PA 29 My question: Is this just a consequence of previous mistakes that we live with, or is there something involving 301's and creation of new pages that could help us utilize the link juice on these pages. Or should we come up with ways to internally link to 'money' pages from these pages instead? Thanks for any input, Luke

Facebook page optimization
I'm working with a client who is "under attack" by one unhappy customer. That customer created a Facebook page to share her outrage, and her page is outranking my client's (consistently immediately above his FB page). I've checked all of the obvious things... page name page URL About section, and all business-related data He has MANY more "Likes" than she does, makes posts far more frequently (with much better Engagement), references his company name in almost every Post (as she does), and on and on. My main question is this... are there one or two factors that seem to have the most impact on how a given FB page ranks? Thanks for your help, Moz family! 🙂

Was moving up in SERPS then Got Stuck on Page 2
Hi, I was continuously acquiring quality back-links and my site was moving up in Google SERPS for 3 main keywords. Within a few weeks i was on Page 2 and 3 for these three keywords, but after reaching there I got stuck on these pages and positions despite no change in link building strategy / pattern. I have even increased the number and quality of links that I acquire per day, but I am still stuck at exact same positions. The website is10 months old and related to a software niche. I update this website once a week. For one keyword I am stuck at position 1 of page two (you can well imagine the frustration..!!). My question is that what do I need to do to get out of this "SERP lock"?
