Unable to view Google Analytics data for blog

Hi! I was about to begin creating a content + link-building strategy for this website that's built in Bootstrap 4 and the blog which is hosted as a sub-folder on WordPress.

I wanted to start off by creating a baseline but the problem is I'm unable able to see sessions to the blog posts after a certain date but I can see the hits to Home and index pages. The tracking code is installed in the header of index but not in the blog (header.php in WP).

Sitemap for home page ( /sitemap.xml ) is statically generated with the <loc> <lastmod> and <priority> tags.

Here are a list of things that happened in chronological order:

  1. Jan 2nd week - I create sitemap for the blog using Yoast, robots.txt, added the sitemap to robots.txt and submitted to Search Console so it's like /blog/sitemap_index.xml
  2. Jan 2nd week - Search Console discovered all the URLs - 4 pages of home sitemap and 100+ posts and misc stuff for blog sitemap
  3. An error pops up inside the Coverage report sitemap.xml (index) and it reads Submitted URL marked 'noindex' and this has been happening from late October and user agent source is Smartphone.

But the pages are set to index in the robots.txt of the homepage. I can't quit figure out what the issue is.

I did add a Allow : / to the blog robots.txt

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 ...
