The rankings of our many keywords drastically fell from Friday in the U.S. What could be the reason?

Our primary keywords were ranking on top position in the U.S. (Ahrefs) but half of them took a wild plunge in ranking. Many of them don't even rank in 100 now. Now, the number of visitors has declined sharply too. However, there are other keywords that are still in top position.

What could be the possible reasons? I checked Google Search Console, and there were no errors in the security and manual actions pages. I have no idea why this happened. Is Google penalizing us? Although our content is similar on most pages - because we are writing for the keywords of same niche - they are in no way duplicated. We also have not used Black Hat SEO.

Looking for help!!!

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 ...
