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.

What does WMT measure against for search query fluctuation?
Hi guys, I always thought that when checking out search queries on Webmaster Tools that it measured change per week. However, I noticed that my impressions and clicks were actually up but WMT was reporting that they were down over a week so it can't be that. Does anyone know? Attached screenshot for clarity. Thanks in advance! XkWANTo_

Google Analytics and Bounce Rates Query - Should I block access from foreign countries ?
Hi , When I look at my google analytics for my UK Website, I can see alot of visits come from outside the UK , i.e Brazil and USA. Both of which give me almost 100% bounce rates from people visiting from there. I am wondering, if google looks at bounce rates with regards to ranking factors and should I therefore block access to my site from visitors outside the UK ?... Would this help increase my rankings ? Given that we only serve uk customers, I cant see any benefit of allowing non uk customers the ability to see the site . what does people think ? thanks pete

404 errors on page urls that don't even exist
I am getting a lot of errors on pages with urls that aren't even legit. Like for example: /videos/support/index.asp No such path even exists like this on the site. I have a /videos and /support off root but no place on the site is there any reference or file at location /videos/support/index.asp so I get a lot of 404 duplicate page errors. This is just one example of several. How do I stop this?

Why doesnt Seomoz give daily ranking updates
Although a little obsessive I can't be the only one checking rankings on a daily basis. Indeed if such a practice was not widespread then software such as linktracker wouldnt exist. It's a shame that Seomoz has the functionality to check rank, however chooses to only do so once per week. Therefore we pay for tools such as link tracker in addition to Seomoz. Here starts a petition for daily updates!!! 😉
