Interesting observation about my content

I have an aged site good good DA. I've been trying to prepare content for a different but related niche.

I have one article in particular that i'm really proud of. Content is exceptional, original, useful. Notably better than all competition in the top 10 for the prime keyword.

It's been up since early December and I am just watching how it's ranking for more and more keywords every day. It's interesting because there is one very specific keyword on this topic that I would love to rank for, but I can't. It's even listed in the title.

I suspect google is evaluating my site in some capacity and allowing me to rank for low traffic keywords but is blocking me from the juicy ones. I suspect they are evaluating my site on some random metrics, could be anything, and determining that I'm not good enough to blow-up in traffic just yet. This would be a major difference maker for my site in terms of traffic volume.

It simply doesn't make sense how I am ranking for all sorts of vaguely related crap, in the top 10, but not for the one that my article is literally about.

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 ...
