Overwhelmed by the thought of building backlinks for my company's website

I work with a digital marketing agency. I was hired to do SEO for their site and we've made some great strides in making new content, updating old content, and optimizing as well as we can (excluding link building).

I'm new to link building as most of the sites I've worked on before either had links or didn't necessarily need them at the time.

Trying to figure out where to start with this process is daunting. I've heard all the standard procedures: Guest posting, HARO, broken link building, forums, link intersect, etc.

Link analysis of my competitors is skewed because some of them participate in 301 redirects for old domains, or are linked on sites that aren't really qualified for me to approach them.

Then if I look up guest posting websites, most of them don't even give the option of dofollow links.

Any tips?

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 ...
