ELI5: Please help a new blogger out

I have just started a blog, like two days ago started. Most places I have looked for advice illustrate the importance of SEO, so I have tried to familiarize myself with it.

The issue I'm coming across is that everything is over my head. I cannot grasp the basics to understand the more elevated or even regular topic areas of SEO. I have done a bunch of research in my topic area so I know kind of what people are looking for.

Ive searched this page and couldn't find anything similar (I apologize if this is already answered). Is there anyway that someone could explain the basics? (Meta-data, keyword, KPI, backlink, etc.)

Any recommendations for articles, books, or videos would also be super helpful

Thank you!!

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 ...
