Career Advice pls...

You guys are the most friendly SEO experts I've found on the Internet so I figure you'd be able to throw some thoughts my way!

I'm head of SEO for a public eCom company that is growing and doing very well. Like every job there are pro's and con's. The pro's are that the gig is stable and pays "ok" whilst the major "con" is that their tech stack is horrible and it takes weeks to edit anything on the site which for SEO has a major impact on trying to optimize the site

I've been approached to join a Gaming Website; and whilst I haven't done my full Due Diligence it seems that they are doing very well. The budget and salary they are offering beat my current situation...

I guess my question is this: first off - what do you guys think about the Grey Market Niches? There are some pretty major SEO restrictions with regards to the gaming niche - but of course, if you get it right you can grow fast in a lucrative niche - or - would you just stay in a tried and tested eCom biz and basically grow from there?

Thanks for all suggestions and comments!

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 ...
