      Say I have a site which sells widgets.

      Site structure is as follows:

      • Home
      • Widgets
        • Blue Widgets
        • Green Widgets
        • Red Widgets
      • About Us
      • Contact Us

      I know the money term is "blue widgets".  Not "widgets" (as this is too generic, and blue/red/green widgets are only a subset of the whole 'widget' universe).

      How do I prevent the site from cannibalising this keyword?  Do I only try to make www.mywidgetsshop.com/blue-widgets the main page for blue widgets or do I try and make the home page rank for this phrase?

        Google currently ranks multiple pages from the same site so if you have mojo for "blue widgets" you can get #1 and #2 in that SERP.  I have seen four or five pages from a single domain ranking for a single keyword.

        IMO cannibalization is an opportunity for me and a problem for my competitor.

            Go for the deep page lining and aim to achieve the double listing like EOLG has suggested!

              • Is this keyword stuffing or best practice?
