How to remove a social media post from Google search

In a brief moment of weakness a couple months ago I made some public comments on a Facebook news post on a bit of a controversial topic. I immediately came to my senses and deleted the comments but Google has picked them up and the cached comments show up at the top of the search results when you Google search my name. My name is unique. My comments aren’t super embarrassing but I’m in the process of going through a background check for a new job and I don’t want my name associated with a controversial topic.

I have tried to no avail to find a way to have the url recrawled by Google to update the search results so that the comments won’t be associated with my name. I posted this a couple of months ago so was hoping it would have dropped off already.

Does anybody have any thoughts on what I can do? I am not a techie so I would need simple instructions. Thanks so much!

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 ...
