Need Advice: Moving articles of a sub-category from an established site to a new domain, good idea?

I have a dog training website with some articles in a sub-category about cat training. The whole site gets around 100k unique visitors a month. But the cat articles only make 1 % of the traffic and are mostly underperforming (especially compared to a few years ago).

I hypothesize that google categorized my website as a dog training website. I even rank with articles for dog training queries that have not much dog training information. And that’s why the cat training articles are not ranking. If that makes sense?

Here is my question, as I am not an experienced SEO and learned mostly by trial and error: Would it make sense to move my cat training articles to a new domain in hopes that they rank better there?

(Also, in hopes that my dog training articles get a ranking boost, as the underperforming cat articles drag the site down. I had success with deleting underperforming articles in the past.)

And if I move the content to a new domain, could I link back to my established dog training website, or would that be bad SEO?

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 ...
