SEO and short-lived pages changing frequently

Hi,

we are working on a football (soccer) match preview web site and we are dependent on search traffic. Our content is previews of upcoming football games - the next seven days or so. We have thousands of these active at any time.

​

Each article is generated automatically at a certain time, "written" by a bot who creates sentences and paragraphs to make a complete article.

​

The challenge is, in order to keep the article factually correct we need to update and change the article almost every day until the match is played and the article is no longer relevant. As the articles are auto-generated most of the sentences, paragraphs etc is changed.

I imagine this hurts our SEO?

​

We try not to change the Page title and URL, and I think that helps. Input? Should we add meta description to the "no-change" list?

​

Any qualified suggestions? Thanks in advance!

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 ...
