Would this be considered keyword cannabalization?

If I have an article, titled 7 signs of unhealthy eating and the title tag for five different pages looks like this:

keyword | article title

ex: Binge Eating | 7 Signs of Unhealthy Eating

ex: Lack of Fruits & Vegetables | 7 Signs of Unhealthy Eating

etc, etc.

Hi Michelle.

The article you link to describes pagination issues. That is where you have a single topic whose length extends the page so you see multiple pages (page-2, page-3, etc). That has no relation to what I described, although it could be a factor with the solution EGOL shared.

Keyword cannibalization happens when you have multiple pages on your site competing for search engine traffic for the same key word. That does not happen in this solution.

Wouldn't technique #1 described here http://www.searchenginejournal.com/pagination-and-duplicate-content-issues/7204/ be an example of keyword cannibalization as well?

I would publish ALL of this information on a big single kickass page using your "Seven Signs" as subheadings.  At the top of your page there would be a nice article menu that contains anchor text links that shoot the visitor down to the sections of the article.  These are powerful for optimization.

People who land on this page will faint when they see all of this information in a huge authoritative page.  An impressive presentation like this can attract a lot of links if you do a good job.

Just one concern.... I hope that your article has better punctuation, grammar, capitalization and format than your question here. It would also be a good idea to avoid the etc. etc. stuff - replacing it with clear detailed descriptions.   I am not trying to be  mean with this comment but hoping to kick you up a notch in your asking questions here and in your writing in general.

Good luck!

Yes, that would be an example of cannibalization.

If you were going to write an article with that tile, I would recommend offering 8 pages. Page 1 would be titled "7 Signs of Unhealthy Eating". It would list the 7 signs, and each list item would be a text link to the page which addressed that topic.

Page 2 title: Binge Eating
