Two keyowrds for one page

[juanmiguelcr]

Hi there! I just optimize two pages for the same keyword as I didn't find a especific keyword for each one independently. On the other hand, these keyword was "suitalbe" for the same two pages. Obviously Google will have to "make a decision" regarding what page should it be indexed in the first postion? In what aspects or elements of the page should I incide in order to give priority to one page more than the other one?

Hi,

Yes it will happen sometimes, if the same keyword is suitable for Page 1  and Page 2, if you want page 1 wants to be indexed by Google higher than page 2  for that particular keyword then try to increase the keyword 2%-3% in Page 1, and also try to add that keyword in Title,Description,Keyword Tag's of that particular page. Depending upon these priorities we may have chance to find Page 1 will be in higher position than Page 2 (and maintain 0% keyword density in Page 2).

Thank you...

I'm going to disagree with TGOOSE. You should try to not have two pages targeted at one keyword. Think about it from the user standpoint. If they are looking for that term, which page is best? What answers their question best? If both are still the answer, then merge the two pages.

1. Combine Page 1 Text  + Page 2 Text in a way that makes sense to the user
2. Place new content on Page 1 URL
3. Redirect Page 2 URL to Page 1 URL

That's how you should handle this situation. The number of keywords on the page and the use of meta tags isn't going to make a large difference.
