What makes a keyword a keyword?

Ive been looking all over to see exactly what makes a keyword a keyword.

I use Yoast, and when I type in keywords it only allows one. However when i check some of my pages on semrush, it shows up to 20 keywords while other have 1 with the same amount of content and links etc.

When i look at the page source of my competitors websites, i see the have a meta named “keywords” and “descriptions”. I did some research and apparently Yoast doesnt do that because they think its useless.

So what makes a keyword a keyword? Just appearing in the contents? Appearing in the H1? Coded into the meta? I have 1500 word pages with 2 keywords.

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 ...
