My articles are not ranking againt low competition, WHY?

Hello everybody,

​

I have a ranking article (money page) on the first page of Google, with the following keyword:

  • Football sport shoes

With that said, from my keyword research I found out that I can easily rank for the following keywords:

  • Basketball sport shoes
  • Tennis sport shoes

​

So I did create articles for those last keywords, it's been weeks and they aren't ranking at all. They have been indexed, I made sure of that by check with the google query "site:domain.com" and they are there. But when I type the keywords, those articles are nowhere to be found on the first pages.

The problem is when I type the keyword "basketball sport shoes", I get as a result my article "football sport shoes". Google prefers the unrelated article over the one that is more narrowed in that niche.

​

NOTE 1: My competitor has the same articles, and he is ranking with a different article for each of those keywords. Although my articles are way better than his, I'm already outranking him with the first one.

NOTE 2: Competing Articles that are low DA with topics like "golf/dancing shoes" are ranking for those secondary keywords. Although unrelated.

​

I can't possibly understand the reason behind this phenomenon. It's frustrating at times.

Perhaps I'm missing something, that is why I'm asking, if anyone can enlighten me with their SEO wisdom, I would be deeply grateful.

​

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my thread.

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 ...
