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
http://www.highposition.com/blog/google-domain-crowding-update-may-2013/
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?

Need suggestion to place longer content on products category page
Hi All, I wanted to place longer content on products category page, Currenty I am showing product listing first and then small description at the end of listing.I don't want to add longer content either bottom or top. I want to make two tabs at the top of each category pages like Products | Informtion In Product section (after clicking on it) I want to display all products listing & in Information tab (after clicking on it) 2-3 paragraphs of webpage content but I'm afraid If I will place the content in this way Google won't index content and my purpose of adding webpage content to target long tail keywords won't fulfill. Please suggest me if you have any better idea & let me know what I am going to do would be good or not in SEO perspective. 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?

Content being copied from our product page hurting our site overall?
On our product pages, he have short descriptions and some bulleted lists. Resellers of our products, and many other sites who are not resellers are copying this content, often verbatim. While I'm not as concerned for the product pages themselves as we're hoping the category pages will rank, does this duplication of our content hurt our site overall? FWIW, our brand name is in our domain and often also shown on these sites that copy the content.

Displaying archive content articles in a writers bio page
My site has writers, and each has their own profile page (accessible when you click their name inside an article). We set up the code in a way that the bios, in addition to the actual writer photo/bio, would dynamically generate links to each article he/she produces. Figured that someone reading something by Bob Smith, might want to read other stuff by him. Which was fine, initially. Fast forward, and some of these writers have 3,4, even 15 pages of archives, as the archive system paginates every 10 articles (so www.example.com/bob-smith/archive-page3, etc) My thinking is that this is a bad thing. The articles are likely already found elsewhere in the site (under the content landing page it was written for, for example) and I visualize spiders getting sucked into these archive black holes, never to return. I also assume that it is just more internal mass linking (yech) and probably doesnt help the overall TOS/bounce/exit, etc. Thoughts?
