Getting backlinks on sites with high DA and positive organic traffic but look scammy. Thoughts?

Hired a backlink agency (supposedly reputable with great reviews) and they’ve sent a few websites for approval. All look kinda scammy (i.e. the website has no clear focus and they have dozens of different categories, like business, education, health, technology, sports, etc) - even though they’re all written in good English and are formatted properly.

That said, they have high DA and traffic on an upward trajectory.

Most don’t openly advertise that they accept guest posts. I’ve made it clear that it’s a big NO-NO for sites that openly advertise acceptance of guests posts.

Besides obviously boosting my site’s DA, I’m also looking to get traffic from reputable sources (aka genuine readers of these sites), but it seems this isn’t possible because these sites don’t have a clear focus/niche.

Thoughts?

P.S. FWIW, I’m paying $200-300/link.

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 ...
