How to interpret this Search Console data?

Hi,

I recently became the developer for a Prestashop-powered webshop. It's quite a large shop with thousands of products and about 3000 monthly visitors, according to Google Analytics.

I'm tasked with improving the sales and since SEO is an importnt aspect of reaching customers, I figured I'd investigate that. Now, I've never done anything related to SEO before other than adding keywords to stuff. I just found out about Google Search Console, so I added the webshop to that. I'm just not quite sure how to interpret it, as I have the following data:

- 9300 valid pages
- 65 000 excluded pages
- 3000 pages with an error
and these errors are mostly "problem with crawling", because the URL links to a product that doesn't exist anymore.

So, is this something I should fix so that there are only valid pages? Or is SEO performance not influenced by these 65k exlcuded pages and 3k erroring pages? The excluded pages do exist but its main reason is that they're pages with a redirect, and this redirect appears to be the result of HTTP redirecting to HTTPS..

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 ...
