Testing SEO and Case Studies

I’ve been studying SEO and teaching others what I’ve learned for awhile now. However, I’ve never actually put what I’ve learned into practice on my own.

I was looking to create a case study that I can show others - look at this, it works!

Most people say, start a blog and work on ranking it. Starting a new site and ranking it quickly with white hat practices can take a long time. I also don’t mind doing it, but I’m also not a great writer...or maybe don’t have the discipline to write 2,000 word articles.

I’m looking for ideas on how to test out what I’ve learned and be able to show people. I want to do the work myself and invest little money into it so I have full control. This means writing, backlinks, etc., even if I have to learn to enjoy writing.

Other than a blog, are there any other ideas anyone recommends to see if what I’ve been learning actually works?

Or if a blog is a way to go, do I pick a topic I enjoy and go for it or do I also find something that’s easier to rank for? I like golf, but trying to rank a golf blog as a weekend golfer probably won’t do well no matter what I write.

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 ...
