Keyword ranking for different page than the page optimized
-
I have optimized "equipment trailer for rent" on this page: http://www.bigtrailerrentals.com/flatbed-trailer-rentals/equipment-deckover. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me why Google has chosen to rank the keyword phrase for this page: http://www.bigtrailerrentals.com/flatbed-trailer-rentals/equipment-24
This is just one example. It has happened on several of my pages / keywords.

Hi there,
It is possible that you have more internal links that are going to this page http://www.bigtrailerrentals.com/flatbed-trailer-rentals/equipment-24 than http://www.bigtrailerrentals.com/flatbed-trailer-rentals/equipment-deckover
Sometimes Google picks one page over another one for no reason. You can redirect the second page to the first one and migrate the content from the second page to the first page and then you should be able to rank your first page for your targeted keywords.

Thanks Ross, but I don't want to redirect the page. I think I can point a link from the first page to the page Google is ranking for the keyword and get some traction that way.
