Thanks, Nathaniel! You are right; it's bizarre! Some of those ranking high don't even have the keyword I am targeting... There is a significant flaw in Google's ability to understand what people want to know and show the most suitable answer - sometimes, it's intentional. They really want to push stuff people are not looking for but may benefit some big fish out there. But anyway, what can we do? Should we spend time trying to please them without guarantees or use that time to craft another article? I tend to choose the second option.

It's hard to say, really. It's all about experimentation, which can be frustrating. Sometimes I spend a large amount of time making a "perfect" article, and it doesn't rank. Other times, I push one out in 1-2 hours, and it ranks. Sometimes the posts that outrank me are definitely better, and I can learn from them. Other times it's pure garbage and I question Google's ranking methodology.

You just have to decide in your mind which posts are worth tweaking and updating in an effort to rank, and which ones aren't worth the effort. In addition, which posts to you are important for your readers to be "top tier" quality, and which ones are just good enough for the time being.

Perfect ! I totally agree! Most of the times I just ignore it and move one.... But it's really annoying to put in the effort for nothing.

Hello, and thanks for your help! The page is indexed correctly. However, my post doesn't appear in the search results when I search on Google using my target keyword. Interestingly, I did discover my Archive page where Google seems to have recognized the keyword, but not in the specific post. Strangely, when I use quotes to search for the exact keyword, my post does show up, and it's the only one with that exact term. Scrolling to the bottom, I noticed this:

In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 38 already displayed.
If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.

I clicked the link, and again, the post was nowhere to be found.

Ooh, wait I misunderstood the quotes part. This means it'll only appear for the exact keyword.

When you put it without quotation marks it'll also pull results from websites that share some of the words in your long-tail keywords but not all of them.

Google likely sees that website as a better fit for all combinations.

Some of my pages have the same problem.

I suspect this might be an E-EAT thing.

I'm not sure though. I'm in the middle of testing some things out to see what happens.

Thank you, but I am confident none of these recommendations apply. It 's something that doesn't make any sense.... It feels like a technical error or something. I rank for hundred of posts, and I know their potential compared to the competition.

I got it! However, the similar product which í already reviewed is not shown on the sets either. So, its a very strange behaviour.

Thank you, so this is probably on my end. No because i would like to copy the banner manually instead of adding the code.

Have a nice day too

Good afternoon Stefan,

Thank you for your reply, I hope you have been able to achieve the necessary.

On another note, I have just read your profile, well done and congratulations on all your hard work. It looks like you are really getting there and making good progress. Have you left your job yet?

I'm potentially in the process of selling my offline business so that I can focus more online. I am making money, however, I know I can make a lot more online if I am given the time to take action. At present my offline business takes a lot of my time.

I wish you all the best and even more success.

Roy
