My articles are not ranking againt low competition, WHY?

Hello everybody,

​

I have a ranking article (money page) on the first page of Google, with the following keyword:

  • Football sport shoes

With that said, from my keyword research I found out that I can easily rank for the following keywords:

  • Basketball sport shoes
  • Tennis sport shoes

​

So I did create articles for those last keywords, it's been weeks and they aren't ranking at all. They have been indexed, I made sure of that by check with the google query "site:domain.com" and they are there. But when I type the keywords, those articles are nowhere to be found on the first pages.

The problem is when I type the keyword "basketball sport shoes", I get as a result my article "football sport shoes". Google prefers the unrelated article over the one that is more narrowed in that niche.

​

NOTE 1: My competitor has the same articles, and he is ranking with a different article for each of those keywords. Although my articles are way better than his, I'm already outranking him with the first one.

NOTE 2: Competing Articles that are low DA with topics like "golf/dancing shoes" are ranking for those secondary keywords. Although unrelated.

​

I can't possibly understand the reason behind this phenomenon. It's frustrating at times.

Perhaps I'm missing something, that is why I'm asking, if anyone can enlighten me with their SEO wisdom, I would be deeply grateful.

​

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my thread.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
