Additional Pages in SERP
-
Hi Mozers,
Can anybody help me with this.
For "keyword phrase" SERP looks like this:
4. mysite.com/page2 ...
13. Mysite.com/page3
14. Mysite.com/page4
Is it possible to include Mysite.com/page3-4 both to the top 4th-5th, or better merge this pages and promote only one?
Thanks.

I never like to limit anything.
Before you merge or remove pages you should look at analytitcs to be sure that you know the TOTAL TRAFFIC for these pages and not simply the traffic for the targeted keyword. It is possible that these pages have enormous long tail traffic.
This is not a simple.. yes... no.... question. All of these pages have value in many ways.

keyword.com is totally unreachable at this stage.
I've proposed that google limit number of my urls on 1st page. Before mysite.com is not #1. Have you any thoughts about this?
Anyway now i am going to keep all #4 pages and use videos, Thank you for analysis.

It is difficult to give a good answer to this.
If you can move #13 and #14 up to position #10 they will merge with your other pages to occupy #3, #4, #5, and #6.
You wonder about merging the pages and promoting only one.... here is an analysis...
If KW.com defeats you by a slight margin you might gain by merging some of these pages if they are on the same topic, and each have unduplicating links from outside your domain.
In that situation you might instead simply promote the page at #3 with the hope of it moving to #1.
However, if KW.com has you beaten by an ENORMOUS margin then it would be best to optimize your title tags to steal their traffic. For example, you can shout your value propositions such as free shipping, kickass prices, free pdf instructions... or shout about other things that differentiates you such as videos, exciting content, free beer.

New pages not ranking
I published some new landing pages about a month a go which are much better quality than previous pages and on an optimised URL. The old pages never ranked and the new pages aren't ranking either although they are much better. The old pages 301 redirect to the new pages. Any quick ways I can at least get them ranking? Not expecting Page 1 overnight but to at least see the new pages on Page 5 would be great!

301'd an important, ranking page to the wrong new page, any recourse?
Our 1,300 page site conversion from static html to Wordpress platform went flawlessly with the exception of 1 significant issue....an old, important, highly ranking page was 301 redirected to the wrong corresponding new page. The page it was redirected to is about a similar product, but not the same. This was an oversight that slipped through. It was brought to my attention when I noticed this new page was still holding the old page's rankings but the bounce rate skyrocketed (clearly because the content on the wrong new page was not relevant). Once identified, we cleaned up the redirect. My fear is that all the juice built up on the old .html page that ranked well has now permanently been passed to an irrelevant, insignificant page. -Is there any way to clean up this mistake? -Is there anything I can do to assist Google in associating the correct 'new' page with correct 'old' page after the wrong redirect was initially set-up? -Am I going to have to start from scratch with the new page in terms of trust, backlinks, etc. since google already noted the redirect? Thanks!

Switched to HTTPS, now Google ALWAYS changes Page Title & Meta in SERPs
Wordpress website using Yoast. Website switched over from HTTP to HTTPS successfully about 6 months ago. Noticed after the fact that Google almost never displays the Page Title or Meta Description I've created in Yoast. Yoast is the only SEO plug-in enabled. Yoast is set to Force Rewrite the Page TItles. The Page titles & Meta Descriptions are always within the character limit. They also contain either an exact or partial match the queries in which Google shows a different Page Title & Meta Description. For some Queries, Google will display the URL as the Page Title for certain queries. Concrete example, search for: public administration jobs Screenshot of results attached. First time working with HTTPS. The redirects appear to be have done correctly. I'm not sure what the issue is. uOnFjNt

Why does Google add my domain as a suffix to page title in SERPS?
Hi, If I do a search in Google - for one our products on our site, our site comes up - but it would appear that google is adding our domain name as a suffix to our title in the results... Anyone else seen this? Can I do anything about it? I would prefer it not to appear. Thanks!

A section of pages on my site are indexed (I know because they appear in SERPs if I copy and paste a sentence from the content), however according to the text-only cached version of the page they are not being read by Google.Why are they indexed event hough it seems like Google is not reading them..... or is Google in fact reading this text even though it seems like they should not be?Thanks for your assistance.

Erratic Behaviour In The SERPS
I am seeing some really erratic behaviour in the SERPS just now. We have 2 domains a .com and .co.uk The .com is holding fine on page 1 however the .co.uk is jumping from page 1 to page 4 almost on a daily basis. Now, we are aware that our link profile is not the best on this domain and we are working on this just now creating more quality content/links. If this was a penalty surely it would drop to page 4 and stay there... This bouncing around seems very strange..... We have updated the on page content etc to make sure that we are following all best practices but nothing seems to be working... Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem? Matthew

Why are so many pages indexed?
We recently launched a new website and it doesn't consist of that many pages. When you do a "site:" search on Google, it shows 1,950 results. Obviously we don't want this to be happening. I have a feeling it's effecting our rankings. Is this just a straight up robots.txt problem? We addressed that a while ago and the number of results aren't going down. It's very possible that we still have it implemented incorrectly. What are we doing wrong and how do we start getting pages "un-indexed"?
