Is this a matter of competing keywords? What can i do retake my #1 and #2 positions?

Hello all, i wish you a happy new year!

TL;DR: I share lecture notes for university students and i use the same keyword for every post a have about a lecture. I have 8-10 post with "general pyhsics lecture notes" because they are what they are, general pyhsics lecture notes. Is this a very bad strategy and what can i do instead?

I have a website that i share lecture notes for a specific area. Let's say it's engineering. I use categories and divide the notes by semester and lecture. So the lecture notes page for General Pyhsics looks like this: ... com/semester-1/general-pyhsics-lecture-notes

I post every general pyhsics lecture note under this page and since they are all general physics lecture notes, i use the same keyword for every general pyhsics lecture note i post. Every post is a lecture note, every lecture note for the same lecture has the same keyword.

Before last google update everything was fine and i ranked #1 or #2 for all my keywords. Now even though i haven't changed the system i share notes, i am struggling to rank. The competition in my area is not high and some very shitty sites rank before me, even though they haven't been active lately.

I don't have too much knowledge about this part of SEO, but i thought of something: instead of having "general pyhsics lecture notes" keyword for every lecture note i have, i am thinking of preparing a single page for every keyword, than share the actual lecture notes with other, plausible long-tail keywords. So "general pyhsics lecture notes" keyword would lead the visitors to a single page, a "homepage" for that particular lecture and they can find the list of lecture notes on that page.

What say you? I know competing pages for a keyword is bad, but is it this bad? What are my options in a case like mine, where i have to have posts with same keywords?

Thank you all!

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 ...
