Two Weird Questions about Massive Real Estate Site (100,000+ Pages)

Hi All,

I'm working on a website with about 750,000 pages, most of which are unnecessary. But there are about 100,000+ listing pages for homes.

Currently, the website uses a few Yoast Generated sitemaps which cover about 15,000 of those pages and the rest are either discovered or not indexed.

  1. Should I continue to use the Yoast sitemap? Or should I use screaming frog and update the sitemap once a month? Yoast doesn't seem to be getting all the listings.
  2. Many of the pages are not being indexed at all because (I think) they have thin or duplicate content. Listings are either the same kinda info on other internal pages or even other websites, and the content is thin at best. How do I get them indexed? Would I need to create unique, fleshed-out content on each page... or just interlink to all these pages a lot?

Would appreciate any insights!

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 ...
