Subject: Google is sending visitors to the wrong page of my site
I've got this blog. its been about 2 months already. i've been getting
about 15 - 20 visitors per day. And I update my blog almost everyday
with new content.

I'm using google analytics and google webmaster. I notice that google
is sending visitors to my homepage instead of the single post page.
The visitors won't be able to find what they want base on their
searched keywords.

Due to frequent updates of my blog, the older posts tend to usually
slipped into the 2nd or 3rd page, therefore visitors can't find what
they are looking for as google sent them directly to my homepage.

Because of this, it has cause the visitors to quickly leave my site.
Google is not showing my much relevant content page on their search
page.

How can I solve this problem?

regards
wands

Revolving/Rotating/Evolving content is alwys an issue.

The immediate thing to look at is whether you can make the actual
content pages more prominent.
Ensure they have topical <title>s.
You could also ensure that the content pages use an H1 for hte Page
title.
Possibly wrap an intro line or hang line immediately after with an H2
tag.

Check the Homepage and see what tags/elemetns are being used for the
entries being displayed.
you might beable to wrap the titles/links in a lwoer elements (so
instead of the entry title+link being in h2, try dropping it to an
h3?).

And of course, the always popular (and sodding difficult)...
get links to the entries as well as the homepage.

Additioanl ideas....
You may be able to pick up the referer.
This means that yo ucan tell where they are comming from as it carries
the URL.
If they are comming from Google, then it should have hte keywords in
the URL.
You may beable t odissect the URL, and pick out he keywords.
Then include a lbock of code to pull up relevant topics and display
those.

May want to double check on how to do that, and how to do it safely.
(Don't want to run into trouble for displaying different content to
bots/visitors).
