Hi,

The home page of my website has 3 different address

www.example.com
www.example.com/en
www.example.com/en/P150/home-page.html

I can't get my home page to be ranked on the keyword I want on google, anybody got any idea why ? and I also get issues for my sub pages... they don't get ranked on google either at least for most of them ...

what should I do ?

Thank you,

[edit reason] switch to example.com - it cannot be owned [/edit]

As you probably know, having more than one address resolve directly to the same content is not a good idea - and even more problematic if it's your home page. So first, do whatever you need to to have only one canonical address for the home page, usually using a 301 redirect.

However, ranking well for the keyword you wand can be a major adventure that goes far beyond canonical urls issues, especially for a more competitive keyword phrase. It almost always takes backlinks from other domains, freely and independently given.
