Exactly how do you get started on link-buiding?

Hello SEO experts,

Professionally I am not an SEO person and not looking to get started on that either. However, I am an experienced writer who wants to understand how SEO works.

I have read various blogs, watched tutorials and free courses on SEO over the years out of curiosity. This helped me learn how to align my content, seamlessly merge keywords, write effective headlines, research keywords, content length and even how to market the content so SEO flourishes further.

However, every single time my progress is hindered by link-building.

I am aware that you can look for dead links, guest posts, send emails to contact people, create a GMB. But the question still remains is:

How exactly do you go about when it comes to link building? Are there some go-to websites? Routines, techniques?

Every guide I stumble upon is somewhat incomplete when it comes to link building. It says look for dead links, but when you find them, there is often no way to contact that website. Guest posts are tough for new websites.

So if it's not an industry secret, I will appreciate it if some of you can share few practices that can nudge me in the right direction.

I am happy creating good content, but clients often ask questions....and I like to learn more as it helps me churn out even more marketable content.

Thank you

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 ...
