Different Blog Articles - What about Keywords Cannibalization?

[Juvo]

Hi everyone,

I have a question in regards to blog articles and long tail keywords variation. I usually create landing pages for the services of my business and create related topics for my blog with long tail keywords (tips, best practice, etc.). However, by using this method, I am a bit worried about the ranking of the different pages/blog posts.

_(See Attachment - in this example, I tracked it with Serplab. MOZ keywords tracking is giving me the same result anyway). _

I created a blog post with a related topic 'office interior design tips'. Unfortunately, when looking at the ranking, the previous page (office-design) is not ranking anymore for this keywords and instead, the blog post office-interior-design-tips took his place. It moved from position 11 to 29 only because I created a blog post related to the topic.

Therefore, what happened to the previous page? Does it stop to rank for this keywords once there is another blog post that is related to it? How can we avoid this fluctuation of ranking due to cannibalization? One can assume that by creating relevant content related to this topic, it should rank higher no?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Thanks. I am not sure I'll get an answer though. I have posted this questions in several forums and sadly, I did not get any insights back for the moment. I sincerely hope I'll have an answer on MOZ.
