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.

Sudden Increase In Number of Pages Indexed By Google Webmaster When No New Pages Added
Greetings MOZ Community: On June 14th Google Webmaster tools indicated an increase in the number of indexed pages, going from 676 to 851 pages. New pages had been added to the domain in the previous month. The number of pages blocked by robots increased at that time from 332 (June 1st) to 551 June 22nd), yet the number of indexed pages still increased to 851. The following changes occurred between June 5th and June 15th: -A new redesigned version of the site was launched on June 4th, with some links to social media and blog removed on some pages, but with no new URLs added. The design platform was and is Wordpress. -Google GTM code was added to the site. -An exception was made by our hosting company to ModSecurity on our server (for i-frames) to allow GTM to function. In the last ten days my web traffic has decline about 15%, however the quality of traffic has declined enormously and the number of new inquiries we get is off by around 65%. Click through rates have declined from about 2.55 pages to about 2 pages. Obviously this is not a good situation. My SEO provider, a reputable firm endorsed by MOZ, believes the extra 175 pages indexed by Google, pages that do not offer much content, may be causing the ranking decline. My developer is examining the issue. They think there may be some tie in with the installation of GTM. They are noticing an additional issue, the sites Contact Us form will not work if the GTM script is enabled. They find it curious that both issues occurred around the same time. Our domain is www.nyc-officespace-leader. Does anyone have any idea why these extra pages are appearing and how they can be removed? Anyone have experience with GTM causing issues with this? Thanks everyone!!!

Why would our client's site be receiving significant levels of organic traffic for a keyword they do not rank for?
We have a client that has received 100+ organic visits for the keyword 'airport transfers', yet the site does not rank in the top 100 search results for this keyword. We have checked that it is not untagged PPC traffic. Truly baffling. Can anybody help?

Expert Google Analytics: store with multiple languages and multiple sub-domians
I hope there's some hardcore Analytics shark out there, with a quick reply 🙂 I am setting up a store with multiple languages for a client and need to be able to track multiple sub-domains as a multiple languages in analytics. Example: dk.somedomain.com -> Danish language
Reporting & Analytics | | ReneReinholdt
www.somedomain.com -> English language
no.somedomain.com -> Norweigen language
.. and so on Now what the client would like is to have one single entity with multiple profiles in analytics, like this: somedomain.com
-> www.somedomain.com
-> dk.somedomain.com
-> no.somedomain.com
ex.. So if the client want's to see stats for the English language then he just vlivks the www profile and in case of danish he clicks the dk profile and so on.
problem here is I can't find an analytics help that addresses this specific issue. I have found this but that doesn't seem to cover it:. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. 🙂0 -
Distribution of SEOMOZ Ranking Metrics across all Monitored Websites
Hi, I'm looking into building a tool which would incorporate SEOMOZ ranking metrics and I have a few questions with regard to the ranking data which will help me develop it correctly. I have done a few searches, for the information but haven't found an answer to these questions on seomoz - if they exist somewhere then I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction. 1/. When looking at the values of metrics such as MozRank and DA, is there any information on how this values are distributed amongst the ranked website - EG The mean / median values of DA and MozRank etc of all websites monitored is X & Y . If there were any distribution graphs for these values then even better. 2/. Along the lines of the above - are there any online resources showing similar information for google PR? 3/. What is the calcuation used in the scale of MozRank and DA - ie We have a scale of 1-10 for these values - be we also know the scale in not linear but logrithmic - ie Double the Links of a DA 5 website and you would not end up with a DA 10 website - so what is the calculation which defines the scale. A WBF about google PR by Rand indicated that a value of between 8-9 is used in Google PR - but what about the values used for DA and MozRank etc? Many thanks for your help
