Multiple Pages get rank for one query
-
Hi to all experts,
In google search console , I've found that multiple pages get rank for my main query.
How can I solve that?
-
Is there any other suggestions?
I have serious problem about it.
-
that's a good idea (noindexing).
Actually i can't see any of my pages (except homepage) on the search resutls, I've just see them in search console,which i thought is a bad thing.

If your "contact us" page is ranking then either you have a really powerful domain or the competition in these SERPs is not high. You could prepare a second relevant page and launch it to see if it replaces the "contact us" page. Or you could noindex the "contact us" page to prevent it from displaying, or make the "contact us" page relevant and link it to your sales page.

Thanks for your Answer. I agree with you. but the mail problem is that,these pages are completely unrelevant to my query,in some of them even i can't find that query. I mean Contact us for example.
And i think this situation make it hard for google to find the main page.
and i just see the main url in SERP.

I've found that multiple pages get rank for my main query.
I would do a manual search and see if you do have two pages ranking for your main query. If this is true, and you have two pages ranking for your main querry, then I would be very happy about that. I would not consider it to be a problem, in fact, if this continues for a couple of weeks, we might take and afternoon off an go out for beers.
If I can get two pages ranking for important queries, it pushes competitors down in the SERPs, it brings more traffic to my website. I would not worry if one is a sales page and one is an article page. I will place obvious ads and links on the article page that move traffic to the sales page. Two pages of my site in the SERPs always gets rid of a competitor. Nice work. Yahooo!
We intentionally try to get multiple pages ranking in the same SERP by adding articles to compete with important sales pages. Although some people think that keyword Keyword cannibalism is a bad thing we celebrate it here. We try, and often succeed, at getting two, three, or four pages into the same SERPs and push our competitor down to position #5. Whack! Take that!
I know people, many of them, who don't like to see two pages from their website on the same SERP. They think that it is a 'waste of energy' or something. I have no hesitation to reach for the throat of my competitor with both hands.

Link juice am i getting it or not?
We have a newspaper source that links to a domain that forwards to a page on our website. Do we get link juice from that? Go here: https://dailygazette.com/ click on "Classifieds" then "CapRegion Homes" the button goes to the website www.capregionhomes.com which forwards to our main website, a page we built for them. My question is: Because the link from this site first goes to another site that auto-forwards to us are we actually getting any link juice from the daily gazette on this or is that first site getting all the juice & we technically are getting link juice from capregionhomes.com ?

Webmaster Tools Indexed pages vs. Sitemap?
Looking at Google Webmaster Tools and I'm noticing a few things, most sites I look at the number of indexed pages in the sitemaps report is usually less than 100% (i.e. something like 122 indexed out of 134 submitted or something) and the number of indexed pages in the indexed status report is usually higher. So for example, one site says over 1000 pages indexed in the indexed status report but the sitemap says something like 122 indexed. My question: Is the sitemap report always a subset of the URLs submitted in the sitemap? Will the number of pages indexed there always be lower than or equal to the URLs referenced in the sitemap? Also, if there is a big disparity between the sitemap submitted URLs and the indexed URLs (like 10x) is that concerning to anyone else?

How to filter pages in Analytics by multiple criteria
Hello, we have several pages with the same page title. Now out of all those pages I want to pick two. Let's call them "/page1" and "/page2". For those pages I want the following information (combined for both): Avg. time on page, Bounce rate, Navigation Summary Normally I get all the information under "Content" "Pages" and by choosing the "page title" as primary dimension and clicking on the respective page title. Let's call it "page | title". Choosing the filter for 1 page works fine (I just enter "/page1" in simple filter). But how can I filter for two pages ( entering " include page ends with /page1 and include page ends with /page2" in the advance filter will show 0 results). Thanks in advance

Why do I get lots of traffic from a bizarre keyword?
Bit of an odd one but I've been getting a large and steady stream of traffic over the last few months from a very random keyword that according to addwords figures shows "on data". Its our second biggest referring term only beaten by our brand name. We get more traffic from this term than keywords we have invested a lot of time in that show thousands of traffic volume in addwords. When looking at behavioral data its gets odder, a bounce rate of 98.11% time on site 2 seconds and page visits 1.02. So this traffic isn't real traffic and it's not real people. So my questions are, what is it? why do we get this random traffic, has anyone els noticed things like this and is it a problem? I presume it must be something to do with some sort of spam but apart from that i'm stumped. It's just one of those things that has been bugging me so I would appreciate any help. Kind Regards Paul
