Hello guys,

I am having issues with most of the Google results displayed on the google search result pages associated to my blog. I am afraid that we are losing readers because they are not being redirected to the correct pages after click on the Google's results. After weeks trying to find an answer, hopefully I found the right place to ask this question.

I will try to explain using real examples listed below.

- Someone did a search on Google.com for the following keywords: mouse n810 bluetooth
- The result associated to our blog was:

Keys | Bluetoothlounge.com
Nokia announced yesterday the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet that will open doors to a .... The MX1000 mouse is absolutely amazing! The Bluetooth version of the ...
bluetoothlounge.com/index.php?s=keys - 50k - Cached - Similar pages

- Now the problems:
1. The link (Keys | Bluetoothlounge.com) shows a keyword that is not related to the search.

2. The description shows some keywords searched like "Nokia N810" but the second part of the description is related to a completely different post (The MX1000 mouse is absolutely amazing! The Bluetooth version of the ...) that talks about a Bluetooth mouse "mouse" that IS one of the keywords searched.
3. When the reader clicks on the link, instead to be sent to the page related to the description, he is redirected to a page the lists all the posts that shows the keyword "keys". Check the link structure "bluetoothlounge.com/index.php?s=keys".

The result of this mess: the customer just leave the blog, of courser. When he lands, usually the first post of the page does not have any relationship with he is looking for and than he leaves the website.

Another unsuccessful example of search result:
Keywords: dell stowaway keyboard drivers for nokia 800

Result:
Keyboard | Bluetoothlounge.com
Nokia announced yesterday the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet that will open doors to a ..... The new Stowaway Shasta Bluetooth Keyboard and driver offer several ...
bluetoothlounge.com/index.php?s=keyboard - 65k - Cached - Similar pages

Now check a successful search result:

Keywords used: jabra x10 series II reviews

Perfect result:

Jabra JX10 Series II Review from MobileBurn | Bluetoothlounge.com
After few years on the market the Jabra JX10 still a big seller not only the great design, small size and lightest bluetooth headsets available today but.
bluetoothlounge.com/reviews/jabra-jx10-series-2-review-from-mobileburn/ - 23k -

We have about 70% of the visits coming from those problematic search results. Is that any way to fix that??

Maybe I did not explain the situation very well. Hopefully you guys will understand and, at least give me a light on the end of the tunnel.

Thanks in advance

If you're talking about the page the sequence of pages is on by date, with several posts on the page, check the Google cache and you'll see that the word "mouse" does, indeed, appear on the page:

http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:IfAmBIMVSVAJ:bluetoothlounge.com/index.php%3Fs%3Dkeys+mouse+n810+bluetooth&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=10&gl=us

It's quite possible that the page with the individual post hasn't been indexed yet and hasn't had time to rank. If that's what you're referring to, they do have the right page according to what's on it for the search query - just not the page you'd like to be indexed.

could always 301 it to thee page you want but risk dropping if content is not rich with the phrase
