          I thought it was generally said that Google will favour 1 page per domain for a particular SERP, but I have seen examples where that is not the case (i.e. Same domain is ranking 2 different pages on the 1st page of the SERPs...)

          Are there any "tricks" to taking up 2 first page SERP positions, or am I mistaken that this doesn't always happen?

            I believe that Google ranks your pages on the basis of what they deserve with minor modifications.  All of my sites have double listings where they are strong.  Some have triple or quadruple listings where they are outstanding on multiple facets of a topic.

            There are no "tricks" to getting these.  You need content that answers the query, there can be multiple ways of answering the query, and your content needs to blow the competition out of the water.

              Thanks. So you're saying Google never haves a problem with this other than in more competitive SERPs? I thought Google generally didn't like to rank the same domain for 2 pages...

                It happens a lot.  People who make it happen once often make it happen many times.

                There are no "tricks".  To get two pages listed on the first SERP you must have two pages competing for the same keyword that are strong enough to earn positions in the top ten.   Some people can get three pages on the first SERP.   It is great to get #1 with multiple listings and push the second place site down to position #3.

                One thing that I know is that you often have two pages strong enough but google will filter one of them from the SERPs because they do like to have domain diversity.  This usually occurs on highly competitive SERPs.  The easiest SERPs to get two pages ranked are long tail SERPs where the competition is thinner.

                  How Much Domain Age Matter In Ranking?

                  I am very confused about domain age. I read many articles about domain age, some experts say domain age does matter in ranking and some experts say it doesn't matter in the ranking. Kindly guide me about domain age.

                  Home Page Disappears From Google - But Rest of Site Still Ranked

                  As title suggests we are running into a serious issue of the home page disapearing from Google search results whilst the rest of the site still remains. We search for it naturally cannot find a trace, then use a "site:" command in Google and still the home page does not come up. We go into web masters and inspect the home page and even Google states that the page is indexable. We then run the "Request Indexing" and the site comes back on Google. This is having a damaging affect and we would like to understand why this issue is happening. Please note this is not happening on just one of our sites but has happened to three which are all located on the same server. One of our brand which has the issue is: www.henweekends.co.uk

                  What are best page titles for sub-domain pages?

                  Hi Moz communtity, Let's say a website has multiple sub-domains with hundreds and thousands of pages. Generally we will be mentioning "primary keyword & "brand name" on every page of website. Can we do same on all pages of sub-domains to increase the authority of website for this primary keyword in Google? Or it gonna end up as negative impact if Google consider as duplicate content being mentioned same keyword and brand name on every page even on website and all pages of sub domains? Thanks

                  Author Byline in Page Title in SERP

                  I was exploring my company's visibility in Google News results, and I noticed the author byline in a recently published article was being pulled into the page title in the SERP. See the attached image for a screenshot. It makes it sound awkward: "How to Find the Best Cannabis Experience and High for You Patrick..." - as if we're explaining it to some guy named Patrick? We have the byline the same way in all other posts, but this is the first I've seen this happen. Has anyone seen/had this happen, and if so, have any ways to prevent it? Thanks in advance for any insights! Here's the post URL: https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/how-to-find-best-cannabis-experience-high csvmF

                  Trailing Slashes for Magento CMS pages - 2 URLS - Duplicate content

                  Hello, Can anyone help me find a solution to Fixing and Creating Magento CMS pages to only use one URL  and not two URLS? www.domain.com/testpage www.domain.com/testpage/ I found a previous article that applies to my issue, which is using htaccess to redirect request for pages in magento 301 redirect to slash URL from the non-slash URL.  I dont understand the syntax fully in htaccess , but I used this code below. This code below fixed the CMS page redirection but caused issues on other pages, like all my categories and products with this error: "This webpage has a redirect loop ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" Assuming you're running at domain root.  Change to working directory if needed. RewriteBase / # www check If you're running in a subdirectory, then you'll need to add that in to the redirected url (http://www.mydomain.com/subdirectory/$1 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
                  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] Trailing slash check Don't fix direct file links RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.)/$
                  RewriteRule ^(.)$ $1/ [L,R=301] Finally, forward everything to your front-controller (index.php) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
                  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
                  RewriteRule .* index.php [QSA,L]

                  Help! The website ranks fine but one of my web pages simply won't rank on Google!!!

                  One of our web pages will not rank on Google.  The website as a whole ranks fine except just one section...We have tested and it looks fine...Google can crawl the page no problem.   There are no spurious redirects in place. The content is fine.  There is no duplicate page content issue.  The page has a dozen product images (photos) but the load time of the page is absolutely fine.  We have the submitted the page via webmaster and its fine.  It gets listed but then a few hours later disappears!!!  The site has not been penalised as we get good rankings with other pages.  Can anyone help?  Know about this problem?

                  Other domains hosted on same server showing up in SERP for 1st site's keywords

                  For the website in question, the first domain alphabetically on the shared hosting space, strange search results are appearing on the SERP for keywords associated with the site. Here is an example: A search for "unique company name" shows the results: www.uniquecompanyname.com as the top result. But on pages 2 and 3, we are getting results for the same content but for domains hosted on the same server. Here are some examples with the domain name replaced: UNIQUE DOMAIN NAME PAGE TITLE
                  ftp.DOMAIN2.com/?action=news&id=63‎
                  META DESCRIPTION TEXT UNIQUE DOMAIN NAME PAGE TITLE 2
                  www.DOMAIN3.com/?action=news&id=120‎
                  META DESCRIPTION TEXT2 UNIQUE DOMAIN NAME PAGE TITLE 2
                  www.DOMAIN4.com/?action=news&id=120
                  META DESCRIPTION TEXT2 UNIQUE DOMAIN NAME PAGE TITLE 3
                  mail.DOMAIN5.com/?action=category&id=17‎
                  META DESCRIPTION TEXT3 ns5.DOMAIN6.com/?action=article&id=27‎‎ There are more but those are just some examples. These other domain names being listed are other customer domains on the same VPS shared server. When clicking the result the browser URL still shows the other customer domain name B but the content is usually the 404 page. The page title and meta description on that page is not displayed the same as on the SERP.As far as we can tell, this is the only domain this is occurring for.So far, no crawl errors detected in Webmaster Tools and moz crawl not completed yet.

                  Why does Google add my domain as a suffix to page title in SERPS?

                  Hi, If I do a search in Google - for one our products on our site, our site comes up - but it would appear that google is adding our domain name as a suffix to our title in the results... Anyone else seen this? Can I do anything about it? I would prefer it not to appear. Thanks!
