      Hi,

      I have a website with a lot of similair subjects. Its a website with around 1000s pages.
      For example this website is about "cars" so I wrote a pages about:

      Green classy cars
      Green cars for the summer
      Green car show 2013

      What happens is that on the query of "Green car show". The page green classy cars shows up.

      I have the feeling that google takes one page about a similair subject and only put on in the serps. I checked this on multiply pages and this seems the case.

      If I search on exact "Green car show 2013" + MY URL, still then its shows indexed but only position 4. Places 1,2,3 shows again other pages of my website with similair subject.

      Now my feeling says the other pages have more authority and thats why they show up higher. But then...again now all the content Im adding it isnt showing up..

      The last months I added around 300 pages and I did not got one visitor more daily and I have the feeling it is because it are all similair pages and google does not want to show them.

      My question is:

      Is their something I can still make them show up? Because they do have all 100% unique content and 100% unique images they only have similair subjects.

      or

      Is their some way I can tell Google that his are really different pages, so this would maybe help?

          If pages are similar Google reserves the write to index what they want. Yes of they are too similar that is whats going to happen.

            The other point here is that Google has been working on consolidating results from a single domain

            http://www.highposition.com/blog/google-domain-crowding-update-may-2013/

            You may simply be working against the updated algo.

            Other alternatives would be to build out pages on the same KW for a given property, so you would have your you tube video on Classy Green Cars, then a blog post on a subdomain etc.  Then you would avoid the clustering effect.

            Another thing to consider is to look at how your site is organized.   Make one main page on Green cars and have a ton of info, then have all the other "Green car" related pages link up to the top page.

            Unless the search is really long tail it may be hard to find traffic for your other key words etc.   Find the biggest key word and focus on that then build the variants and link up to it.

            Cheers

              This could be because of your internal linking or external for that matter.

              if links are passing green car relevance and PR to one page more than the other this could be the result.

              • Hi, on SEO article submissions, do I only include the link to the page I am trying to promote or is it best practice to also include a link to home page or parent page?
