Our website has a twofold use, default.asp is being used for selling "Red Widgets" and index.asp is being used for selling "Blue Toilet Seats".

Type in www.ourdomain.com and the server produces index.asp (The Red Widget Page).

I want search engines to produce www.ourdomain.com/default.asp (The Blue Toilet Seats Page) when searches are done for our Brand name.

I cannot do the following:
a. Change the way the above is structured.
b. Remove the Brand name from the Index.asp page

How can I tell the search engines not to rank index.asp for my brand name, but keep ranking it for my other keywords and rank default.asp for my brand name instead.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Thanks

get some quality backlink to the default.asp with your brand name phrase as the anchor text, that is the best solution to make the search engine ranking default.asp page,

1st - you can't tell the SE's to rank you for this and not that ... you can only accomplish this through proper optimization. If you want index.asp to not rank for your brand names and default.asp to, then optimize default.asp for the brand name.

and ... yes ... quality links with anchor text defining the relevancy of the page will help you as well.

There is no quick and easy fix for SEO ... nothing that comes in a box or off the shelf. You just need to understand the basic SE rules/guidelines and build your skills from there. SEO is not difficult, it only requires a new way looking at things. Try not to focus on individual things ... Google has stated that there are over 100 different factors that determine rankings within their index.

thanks telNform and powerofeyes

What we have done is redirect search engine traffic to www.ourdomain.com/default.asp with a 301.

Will this cause me any longterm problems?
