Ranking at 8, 9, & 15... Is this self-cannibalisation?
-
@ 8 is a blog about a youtube video review a customer made of the product. Blog title includes keyword
@ 9 is the product page itself and includes a rich snippet video
@ 15 is a blog about the product by an independent professional in the field - again the blog title contains the keyword.
The page I want to rank highest is the product page which is currently at position 9.
If it were you would you delete the keyword from the blog titles? Or is that just going to lose me those blog results and do little/nothing for the product page.
Thanks
EDIT: I should have said... both blog pages link to the product page and the keyword is the anchor.

Nice work!
Move these up a little higher in the SERPs and you will be running your competitors out of town.
On the non-product pages you can place obvious house ads that show you have a product page where a purchase and full details can be found. Or you can place "add to cart" buttons on the other two pages.
To take full advantage of this each of your pages could be optimized for different variants of the keyword.
I don't get it why some people think this is a problem.
Cannibalization? Hell yes! You are ready to eat your competitor's lunch.

Nice, as you said that should also help.
You might find if your picking up reviews, you could also pick up some social sharing which will also help. That's if you don't already have some social sharing buttons on the product page.
-
Then Google has clearly approved of what you have and ranked accordingly. As 'activity super' said, spend a little time enhancing the product page. Do a little sharing on Google+ and make sure that everything is as good as it possibly can be within the page. See if you can get some backlinks to that page as well.

Yes, all on the same domain.
One thing to say about the product page, I suppose, is that because of new reviews, it will get more content over time whereas the others won't get additional content.
-
Yes, I can edit it as I see fit.
-
are all 3 pages on the same domain? you can have only some much results from the same domain on one page.. in that case, make a chice and change some content..
otherwise, you should link from those #8 and #15 pages to the #9 page like activitysuper says and push this page some more, find some more links, perhaps through social.
-
Personally I wouldn't change the titles, more inclined to link back to the product page from the other ranking pages.
If you have already done this, I would just keep pushing the product page, your only 1 position behind 8th so a little more work might see you bump 8th position.
-
So the one at position 8, is that one that you wrote?

How To Rank Landing Pages In The SERPs
Hi, am hoping someone can give me a little advice.. We have created an Ebook for a client, which we will ‘hide’ behind a landing page for the purpose of collecting email addresses in return for a link to the Ebook. We are thinking of using Unbounce landing pages, integrated with Mailchimp. The problem however is that I’m assuming it will not be possible for Unbounce landing pages to rank well in the SERPs.. which is essential. The obvious solution would be to write a blog post detailing the contents of the Ebook, and then to ‘SEO’ this post.. this however will not provide a positive user experience as below; Visitor lands on blog post Visitor then has to click through to Ubounce landing page (very similar content) Visitor completes form to download Ebook My question is; What’s the best way to rank a direct landing page in the SERP’s, whilst providing the best possible user experience (less steps)? Many thanks in advance, your time is appreciated 🙂 Lee.

Page Speed & SERPS
What impact does page speed have on rankings in the search engine? If I have a Site that is heavy with Pictures, Onsite videos and various scripts that would ultimately be of good use to a viewer but takes time to load. VS A Site that has pictures that are fully optimized for the web or eliminated to save on load time, Videos that are hosted on Sites like VIMEO or You Tube and eliminate scripts where possible and use css3. Note the site loads faster and is better for mobil but doesn't have the same feel of the first site but is useful to the user. Now let's say that both sites are virtual twins in terms of their link profile, age, content quality, location and citations. Will one rank better because of load time? It's the quest for creating the ultimate site for users while delivering it within the fastest time possible.

Reviews not shown on google search & seller rating extensions (adwords)
Hello, we have 2 questions, regarding reviews from rating websites. 1. Reviews on google Search We have several reviews for our website www.theprintspace.co.uk from various rating sites (e.g. qype, yelp, remotegoat, etc.). When searching for theprintspace on google, only some reviews and only some rating website are shown, most are not. For qype, for instance, we have 8 reviews, but google only indicates that we have 3. The yelp reviews (and many others) are not shown at all. According to google, it takes a maximum of 2 months for the correct number of reviews to be shown on google, but the reviews have been online for over 2 months now. Is there any way this problem can be solved, so google shows the correct number of reviews? 2. Seller rating extensions on google adwords We would like the reviews to be displayed in our google adwords as a seller rating extension. These will include the merchant star rating for advertisers that are highly rated on Google Product Search. We are setting up a google merchant account to do so. Google says: "Ratings are based on the user reviews collected by Google Product Search, which aggregates reviews from a broad base of sources across the web, including Reseller Ratings, Bizrate, ReviewCentre.com and Viewpoints." Do you know if the following rating website are in google's "base of sources" and will thus be recognised and used in google adwords as rating extensions? Yelp Qype Scoot Remotegoat viewlondon tipped Or does google only source from big e-commerce rating websites? How do we get the ratings into our adwords? Thank you for your help!
