What is Black Hat SEO? Was it at all? Or is there ??

There was a time when Google's algorithm was not so smart then some of the so-called (SEOs) would bring keyword stuffing irelevant backlinks, link pyramids, and so on to the keyword rank. But from the time they started working on smart algorithms like Panda, Penguin, and Hummingbird, all those unnatural contents started getting penalized. Since then, there has been a lot of talk about black hats. Google always like natural & information-based websites/pages. If I look at the content, it is easy to bring it to the surface.

The rise of Blackhat SEO experts came at a time when Google was beginning to penalize spammers for their unnatural activities. This is my belief, and I am seeking the opinion of more experts. Best Regards

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 ...
