How do I make sure my homepage ranks better than my 2nd page when I need the same keywords for both? I don't want them competing against each other for keywords.
Rand had a good post on this problem (and it's fairly common) a while back: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/wrong-page-ranking-in-the-results-6-common-causes-5-solutions I think Francisco has a great point, though - from both a search and user perspective, is the page necessary? If it's really covering all the same keywords, it may be telling you that Page B just doesn't have the value you original thought. Generally speaking, though, your home-page is going to have more ranking power. If it's just two pages, the worst that happens is that your home-page outranks Page B, and Page B doesn't get much SEO love. If it's still good for users, that's fine. If you really want Page B to rank, then you may have to examine it's unique value and whether the home-page should be more general or target broader terms (or brand terms) instead.
