    Note: I use GN Publisher and have removed tag&category feeds from crawl optimisation

    The page I want help with indicates a correctly SEOd and indexed page page with a few authoritative inbound links and several internal links. However it fails to rank properly because of cannibalisation.

    google rank these pages ahead in a normal seatrch “– Page 3 of 353“, “– Page 355 of 353” and so on. ie the home page ranks higher than the artcile.

    Question: How do I stop the multiple pages of my homepage from ranking with unindexing the home page itselg (which i assume is wrong)

    sorry if i’m not explaing it properly

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @the5krunner,

    Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin. Pages like Page 3 of 353 and Page 355 of 355 are called paginated archives, and it is not recommended to set them as noindex. Do you mean you want them to rank higher than the homepage?

    the paginated archive pages rank higher for a search on the “page I need help with” than the “page i need help with” itself. as shown if you do a google search as described above, starting with “site:the5krunner.com…..”

    the page i need help with IS indexed, has internal and external backlinks; and is correctly SEO’d for the search I indicate above. I assume something is wrong with how Yoast includes the paginated archive pages in the sitemap

    Yoast SEO does not control how Google chooses to rank your homepage vs paginated archives. This has nothing to do with how Yoast SEO includes the paginated archive pages in the sitemap. Actually, our plugin doesn’t include paginated views of any type of archive (e.g., /blog/page/2/) in the sitemap

    Google rankings depend on?many factors,?which include server load, page speed, cache configuration, mobile versions, responsiveness, and the site’s content, many falling outside the plugin’s scope.

    You should consider posting a question in the Google Search Central Help Community.
