Sweet spot for content word count ? Does it have to be over 1500 words ?

To be honest some of my most quality content is 1000 to 1200 words. Anything over 1500 is simply going crap and becoming an essay. I also found that people usually don't read articles over 1500 words unless we are finding answers for a topic specifically, myself included.

Is it possible to rank and do well with < 1500 words ? For every 2000 word article, I have 12 articles less than 1500. But it doesn't mean these articles are weak, I find them to be the exact amount of information required to be quality content enough that gets the message across. Not everything has to be an in-depth tutorial or review which simply doesn't make sense. Half the internet is there for casual browsing anyways.

But the real question is, would there be technical SEO setbacks for writing less ? Adding more words to hit SEO will just produce nonsense if it doesn't suit the topic.

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 ...
