From Being Laughed At As A Pizza Delivery Guy To Finally Out Earning My Peers

So roughly 2 years ago I was a broke college student who made a lot less than my peers who decided to not go to school and essentially worked their regular jobs for the years I was gone. Now because of this many of them had received promotions or raises and were making more than any job I could get at the time, and why is this relevant you may ask? Well as the summer was coming to an end I decided in my last few weeks I would get a job as a pizza guy. Obviously not anything I planned to do long-term but my friends clowned me endlessly about it posting memes of me working there, calling me delivery boy, and once when one of them had gotten angry he just threw out "well yeah I make more money than you so now what" it all was extremely frustrating to me.

Now when I went back to college obviously I didn't have a job because I would end up quitting my pizza gig as planned, but I decided that I didn't want to work other jobs like that. Not because of my friends but because they just didn't care for me as an employee and the pay was terrible on top of that. I ended up starting my own business and SEO agency that I would pilot as a one-man team. I never really thought it would ever amount to anything but I ended up sticking to it for the last 3 years and not only did it help me land an agency gig once I graduated but I continued to work this business on the side until it eventually became my main form of income. I've since landed about 6-7 active clients for my business and while I've never cared about the money I will say I do bring it up to my friends every now and then telling them "Hey remember when you made fun of me for working as a pizza delivery guy?" they normally get defensive saying "Nah man I would never" and this that and the other. But it feels good to prove people wrong not because I make more but because I've made more of myself and the journey I've taken.

This story isn't to sell any service or garbage in fact feel free to trash on SEO here, but the point is keep grinding and you'll make it happen. Hopefully, this motivates anyone out there who felt the shame of being looked down upon by their peers

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 ...
