Google is telling search that some of my posts are 7 years old!!! Wth?

Since my traffic is so dysmal, I've often wondered if they blacklisted me. But I guess this works, too, if they want to bury me. No one wants to see a post this old, even if it's a cartoon.

I know there are plugins to update the date. I guess I could go in and just update everything, with no penalty.

But why are they doing this? Do they really think they're helping anyone? LOTS of people dont have a date in the url!!

Oh, no images allowed here? Search clearly points out that post (cartoon) is 7 years ago. :(

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.

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 ...
