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.

Followed all on-page rules no listing for target keyword :(
Hey guys, long time Moz user, first time forum asker. I recently went all out and tried to create above and beyond blog content, while also making sure to keep it SEO friendly. The page is indexed but does not show anywhere at all for the target keyword. Here is my article URL below. http://blog.storitz.com/2016/04/75-moving-tips-preparing-packing-beyond/ I checked it on the onpage ranker on MOZ and got a B. Here are some theories on maybe why it's not ranking at all. It got knocked for keyword stuffing. Although my page has tons of content and the keyword density is at a reasonable rate, I still used the keyword 22 times. Another is my wordpress automatically set my robots tag to "Noodp". Wanted to get some feedback and see if there is anything you guys might have some insight into before I start making adjustments here. Appreciate it in advanced!

Guest Blogging - Home Page PR0
I have found a blog in my niche that accepts guest posts. However, the site is quite odd in that the homepage has a PR of 0 and all the other pages have a 2. I just wanted to check if it is still worth posting on this site as it looks suspicious to me. Thanks.

Does Google really ignore Noindex pages?
Assume I may have some pages of my site that don't have a lot of text on them, and I have to keep them on the site. Let's say there are no more than 50 like this out of 400 great pages, and the ratio of great-to-short pages continues to increase. If I no index the short ones, will Google really ignore them in search? Will they ignore them enough to not downrank my site due to the short, noindexed pages? I know, theoretically, they are supposed to ignore them, but I don't always trust all the rules.

Does a Google Map on the contact page help with SEO?
In regards to ranking organically for local search results (not google places), I'm wondering if there is any benefit to having a Google Map on my Contact page with our location pinned? If so, how important do you think it is?

I have a page where you can download a PDF of the material - should I exclude the PDF from the search engines?
In my niche, there is a controversial research article that is very popular. I am writing a rebuttal to this article and giving another point of view. My article has the potential to be really good link bait for my site. The original article is often printed out to be shown to professionals in my niche. My hope is that people will do the same with mine. So, I plan to have a PDF version of my article available on my page. The article that is visible on my site (i.e. non PDF) will be a graphic rich article that is easy for the reader to go through. I plan to have the PDF have all of the same text, but it won't have as many graphics - it will look more like a scientific research article. So, should I exclude the pdf from search engines so that it isn't duplicate content? Or does that even matter seeing as it is a duplicate of my own content? I want people to link to the main article, not the pdf. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
