The future of SEO and AI Marketing is Here. Its called SEO.

The funny thing about SEO and AI is that a surprisingly large amount of wannabe SEOs have started asking - will AI kill SEO now that it can do it? What a preposterous question that contradicts itself.

Ask AI what SEO or, worse "what an SEO strategy" is. You'll get the same thing. A list of 5 or 6 basic things that are tantamount to putting a page title on a page and doing keyword research. Oh and get some backlinks. From 100's of millions of blog posts and pages, AI has basically given us the same list as I would have had back in 1995 building my first commercial website.

How sad.

How telling.

How Opportunistic.

AI is as clueless as the 99% of people selling "SEO" without having a clue.

SEO is about reverse engineering search engines, while growth hacking is about reverse engineering everything. While Social Medialists were the first to claim the untimely death of SEO back in 2009 - every publication is now remarking on the passing of Social Media. Sadly - almost all Medium sized organizations have always had money to spend on doing two insanely important things very very badly: Video and Social Media. Companies who have no budget for PPC or Video still have money (time) to "Post on social media". It never worked. The clock is approaching midnight.

SEO is as much about reverse engineering AI-enabled search as much as it was before. Its harder to work out what you need to get into AI considerations than it is to get to first in Google because now you have to do both.

About tools like SEMRush, and Hubspot - following those cookie-cutter SEO strategies is only one step up. The more commonly known the list of tactics (sorry, I meant "strategy") - the less effective they are.

The future of AI search is here. Its called SEO Growth Hacking

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 ...
