Re-posting blog posts and SEO

I read or heard somewhere that some people use sites like medium.com to repost the first paragraph or two of their blogs and put a "See the rest on our site" type link for people to continue reading. I've seen this on a few medium posts recently as well...

1) Is this a legit way of getting more backlinks from blog/forum type sites like medium?

2) Will Google penalize the backlink/domain because of reposting the initial blurb of the blog? In that case is it better to write a different blurb to introduce the blog post to use for posting on such sites?

3) Does it matter if the account you post from on those sites is branded with the domain you are trying to boost and/or links back to that domain as well or not?

Still new to SEO and trying to learn, all help appreciated :)

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. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

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 ...
