How to get inlinks of inlinks efficiently with Screaming Frog?

I'm trying to scan my website for broken links and need to list all the broken links in a spreadsheet with the source (page located on) and the actual link itself (with maybe some anchor text/status code but the first two are most important).

However some links have been redirected over time and the scan records the redirect link as the source/inlink with the new redirect instead of the ORIGINAL source and the ORIGINAL broken link. The original is what I need because I want to know what the actual broken link is and what page it is located on. I can get to this information by right clicking an individual record and exporting a crawl path report. But this method is inefficient because I am dealing with a thousand plus records.

Any Screaming Frog pros know how to deal with this? Thanks! 😊

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 ...
