Ranking Potential - An another worth noting metric for your SEO strategy

During your Keyword Research, you might have messed up with these questions - “what are the metrics I need to consider for choosing a right keyword?”, “What are the things other than keyword difficulty?”, and some more,..

I got you covered with another important metric called 'Ranking Potential'

With this metric, you can find the potential of your topic to outnumber the top ranking results.

How to find it,

📌 Type the topic of your content in Google and check if there is an “opportunity gap” for freshness, quality, authority, or relevance in the top three Google search results for your topic. Simply, find the things missed by them.

📌 Also, check if the sites in the top three Google search results are more “authoritative” than yours (i.e. have a higher domain authority).

📌 Then combine the opportunity gaps and authoritativeness like below:

Opportunity gap + no authoritative sites = High ranking potential Opportunity gap + authoritative sites = Medium ranking potential No opportunity gap + authoritative sites = Low ranking potential

High ranking potential means, you can outnumber the top results easily. The high ranking potential topics are your low hanging fruits.

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 ...
