Canonical and optimization

[PedroVillalobos]

Hi, I was thinking: If I had 4 pages, each of them optimized for an especific keyword, but set a canonical url to another page, would this another page rank for the 5 specific keywords?

Ex:

Page 1- Shoes
Page 2- Snickers
Page 3- Socks
Page 4- Feet
All set the canonical url to Page 5

Page 5 will rank for all this four keywords?

Maybe. Google does reserve the right to not flow canonical indicators when it sees no need to. Canonical is for duplicate content, therefore if Google does not see duplicate content, it will probably not flow the juice to page 5.

Matt has a couple videos on this.

I saw the videos. I didn't know about them. Thanks for your info, Richard!
