It's so hard to gain backlinks

A lot of SEO Experts claim linking to other websites in the niche will boost your own ranking, but in reality, rarely someone wants to place a backlink. I believe the logic "why should I place a link that can take my hard-earned visitors outside of my website" prevails. And I understand that. Relevant niche websites are very often indirect competitors, so the last thing they want to do is send people over to competitors or let them leave their website altogether.

On the other hand, guest posting, building private blog networks etc. are also penalised by Google.

It feels like getting quality backlinks is really, really hard in 2018.

We keep producing good content, but it is rare that someone links to it.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns.

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
