Authorship for articles with more than one author
-
Hello,
Is there any way to do authorship for articles with more than one author listed? If so, how?
-
What's a good guide for doing this? We're using Joomla and if Google just displays the first author that'll work great.
-
Yep, in terms of Google picking it up in the SERPs, they are only going to display 1 author (if appropriate).
So, it depends on whether or not that is your intended goal.

Hi Bob,
Remember that still if you use this plugin for co-authors Google will always pick the first editor and use their picture in the attribution for Google Authorship in the SERPs (in which I don't say that they won't attribute it to both but just show the first).

Co-authorship is definitely possible.
If you are on wordpress you can use this https://wordpress.org/plugins/co-authors-plus/
It's pretty much the same concept for other platforms.

Pages Competing With One Another
Hello, We are ranking for an acronym, which I understand can lead to fickle rankings. However, we have two pages ranking page one - two for the same keyword, but they do so in spite of each other. By this I mean, one page will rank, while the other is nowhere to be found. It seems that the one page (a blog post) is more likely to rank on the weekends while the product page is more likely to rank on the weekdays. I would like the product page to rank all the time, and to target another keyword with the blog post. Would removing the keyword from the blog post allow the product page to rank all the time - or would it lead to no pages ranking during times when the blog post would otherwise be ranking? I should note the blog post has more external links and is not exactly optimized for the keyword, while the product page has more internal links and is optimized for the keyword.

Several keywords and only one page to posicionate
Hi there! I'm new in SEOMOZ and the SEO world (so excuse me if the question is so elemental.....). I'm having trouble when trying to apply the right seo strategy to one of the page of my companys corporate site. My company offers serveral services in the field of the communications&advertisement. Not being considered as different items in the services menu of the website is a requirement for the company. They want to describe them (all services) in a single page. The problem is that there's one title, one description tag, one url and many relevant keywords related. Should I convince them that this structure is a bad one regarding SEO or there's a way to solve this situation? Thanks in advanced.

Moving Top rank Page urls off my Home page and nesting them on one page? Good idea?
I am basically trying to cut down the amount of links on my home page to make it less eye boggling and move stuff around. So i have of my Urls on my home page that lead to pages that rank very well within google. My questions is can i remove those urls to a separate page to group them together and then showcase that one link to that page on my home page. Is that a good idea or i am going to loose my link juice and position in search? The physical urls on those pages wont change at all.
