I ran an experiment two websites same content here what I found

So I have a domain that is registered since 2021 DA 16 and fair amount of backlinks

On the root domain I run a store with /gaming is a gaming blog. I noticed I am not getting ranked anymore, especially after the disaster that hit my website in December, 20 days offline.

Now to test I copied all the files exactly the same, "It is hosted using docker" and I pointed a new domain that I was parking to the container to try things out. Keep in mind the domain is .red not even .com

Couple of weeks go by what is my findings:

1- Of course it will not jump in visits or no where near, but I find it to start picking up some engagement

2- The new website is ranking where to old one is not and even if I say TITLE "NAME OF WEBSITE" nothing shows up. I have to add .com. Checking search console it says URL on Google and indexed fine

3- Old website show up in Google as "TITLE" and new website shows up as "TITLE - Website Name"

​

My questions are:

What could be causing this?

Should I be scared of cannibalizing my other domain or just run with a new one? I am so invested in the old store, blog, Social pages, etc

Any idea to how to fix this issue?

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 ...
