SEO Is All Speculation, There Isn't A Science To It.

SEO is a great industry to be a part of, but I see too many people calling themselves "experts" and claiming to have the ranking process down to a science. I can't tell you how much that annoys me as those strategies they're preaching are all speculation. Even some of the best tools in the industry like Moz, Majestic, and Ahrefs say that their numbers aren't truly reflective of Googles ranking system. Nobody has any idea every single in and out of SEO, especially as the algorithm continues to change and adjust. All you can do is continue to study, learn, and apply your methods through trial and error. I would suggest that all of you look at Google, Scam Risk, Youtube, and even Udemy for your courses as these online gurus have no idea what they are talking about, and can lead you down a rabbit hole that ends with poor results and last page rankings

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

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 ...
