Seo outside of the US?

I’m so confused. I figured out how seo worked for the states, and now I’m about to register my domain name and I can choose between a .com and a .nl (used in the Netherlands).

I went to search for keywords and “amsterdam photographer” is showing 750 hits a month, which doesn’t sound like a lot at all. Even when I search it in Dutch, or niche down, it’s not showing many hits.

Im looking at Google trends and searching some Dutch terms and I looked at the keyword Familie Fotoshoot and it only has 1,900 searches a month. (Im still learning Dutch so it’s not possible for me to translate my entire site.)

How does this work? Almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks English, so I’ll be able to pose and have great client interactions in English. But they Google search in Dutch. Worrying I won’t get any hits using a .com (is that a valid concern?), but worrying I won’t rank in Dutch if I’m writing in English using a .nl (I’m not even sure if it works like that?)

Thanks! 😭

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 ...
