      Hello all,

      I've been having some weird stuff going on between one of my landing pages and the Homepage.

      What's happening is, the page showing up in the SERP keeps flip-flopping, but not only that, when it flips to the landing page it will drop 70 positions.  Then when it flips back to the homepage it goes back to around position 19.

      So confused about what is happening.  I think the two pages are fighting for the same keyword as they both have the keyword in the meta title.

      Homepage >( <title>PresenterMedia - PowerPoint Templates, 3D Animations, and Clipart</title> )

      Landing Page >( <title>PowerPoint Templates at PresenterMedia.com</title> )

      I've seen other answers about the flip-flopping thing, but not sure about dropping 70 positions thing that is going on.

      Does this huge drop tell me the better page to rank is the homepage instead of the landing page this targeting this keyword?

      Any help would be greatly appreciated

          Hi and thanks for your reply.

          So glad to hear you got some help with it and got it hopefully fixed, I assume.  It's a frustrating deal.  Do you have a recommendation for who you used to help you figure it out?

          I would like to fix it, but I would also like to understand what is going on as I like doing the SEO stuff.  I'm just too new at it to really understand the deep stuff like this.
