Accidently deleted blog post comments!

I have an ecommerce store and I accidentally deleted my website's blog posts comments. I can't believe it happened as I thought it was only deleting spam comments as i've approved all the good real comments. I use Shopify by the way.

I contacted Shopify and they said there is nothing I can do to recover them as I don't have a back up and I didn't save comments to a CSV.

I had probably around 80-100 comments (could be less) spread out across 100 posts, of course my best blog articles had the majority. My blog is one of the biggest assets of my website, as I am doing 100% organic traffic/sales. I've had my website since jan 2017.

​

My question is, how bad do you think this will affect my SEO, not to mention conversions?

​

I'm hoping this isn't as huge of a deal as I feel it is. I'm really upset with myself at this point for such a dumb move.

​

I'm thinking if my traffic doesnt decrease in the coming weeks, I'm in the clear. My biggest concern is the traffic. In all honesty, I don't think the majority of my blog comments were too keyword-friendly. And there wasn't much conversation, just people leaving a comment here and there. There wasn't a ton of comments on any one particular post either.

Any advice or thoughts would be very appreciated.

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 ...
