Why different pages rank in different countries?

[vtmoz]

Hi all,

I have been investigating on why our log-in page is ranking for primary keyword, but not our homepage. I can see now homepage is ranking from our second important country. I wonder why and what causes to rank different pages in different countries for same keyword. Again the statistics does not vary much between these countries.

Hey there,

the reason for ranking in different countries for the same keyword could be fact that it's very similar in all the affected languages. I don't know which KW's and languages do you exactly mean but let's say for example _"tennis, casino, mobile, video, dinosaur, coffee, tea,..." _are very similar throughout the countries.

Also, the reason for higher rankings of the log-in page could be poor optimization of the internal linking. Maybe you have more links to the log-in page, maybe the links have more relevant anchor texts or maybe your homepage has bad UX metrics compared to the log-in page (people usually go to this page to complete the action which means very low bounce rate).

More information regarding the KW's and countries would be appreciated. Cheers, Martin
