HELP!- Homepage Suddenly Not Indexed by Google

Has this ever happened to anyone?

Yesterday my home page was ranking in top 10 for 20+ keywords. And has been that way for several months.

Today, suddenly, my homepage started dropping in rank. I chalked this up to SERP volatility. Then later in the day I went to Search Console and tested the url, it said that it was not indexed by Google. The page itself is indexable (not mentioned in my robot.txt, no “noindex” Meta , etc) search console even confirmed the page was indexable but just wasn’t indexed.

I suddenly lost all my rankings. Over a year of hard work. Does anyone know how I can fix this. Is it just a glitch? Will Google adjust the SERP and fix once indexed?

Also: All other pages of my site are still indexed by Google. No errors in site map. Also went through everything in the Google help center and nothing helpful.

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 ...
