Two unrelated questions

Last week I posted here about a book to start SEO, bought one and read it cover to cover. Now I am ready to redesign my website but I am running into some questions.

  1. My website will have multiple directories where we sell different things like products, tools and courses. I am building out an in house team for blogging and should have content out daily, but not on every topic every day. How should I structure the site map for the blog?

Like this: .com/product/product-subcategory/blog and .com/courses/course-subcategory/blog

OR

like this: .com/blog and have it link to the relevant sections.

I am only worried about this because I read that google favors subcategories where all of the content relates to itself.

​

Question 2.

We sell a lot of books through amazon as Kindle direct printing makes our books. Currently, we are using squarespace blocks for amazon affiliate links and do not sell any amazon manufactured product on our page. Are these outbound links going to effect my sites SEO (we have 30 and growing)?

Also, is there any way to sell these products directly on my site and have them fulfilled by amazon? This is the ideal situation but I have never of anyone doing this when amazon manufactures the product.

​

Thanks in advance. Last week I got such amazing tips and I appreciate the feedback in this reddit.

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 ...
