Is there any harm in getting backlinks to a site that's "coming soon"?

I am going to launch a second website, under my real name, on a topic that I'm an actual expert in. Right now I have a have a "Coming Soon" notice (in a pretty design that is relevant to the topic of the it - it's not just black text on a white background!) on the site's homepage with links to the active social media accounts. I have a lot of content ready to go (at least 20,000 words, including two or three posts per category) but I need a little more time to play with the design of the site - I have a week off work in mid-March and I'm planning to use that week to get the design to a place where I feel comfortable "launching". Is there any danger in using HARO or other similar sites to get some backlinks to my homepage over the next month? I understand that some journalists might not want to use my contribution because the site isn't live yet, but for the ones who are open to saying, "Hannah from the soon-to-be-launched site XYZ Expert says...", is it kosher to build some of these links in the thirty days pre-launch?

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 ...
