My site ranks far better on Bing search than Google search?

Hi,

I've been developing a cool new cycling routing web app, and I've tried to gain interest from a few publications. I've managed to acquire a few small backlinks. Currently, I don't have a lot of traffic, and my DA is quite low (I believe it was only 8 the last time I checked). I've noticed a significant difference in search query rankings between Bing's Webmaster Tools and Google Search Console.

On Google, the average position for any search term that doesn't include the direct site name is usually beyond the 30th position. In contrast, I can often find my site within the top five positions for similar phrases on Bing's Webmaster Tools. I've verified this by directly searching these terms on Bing.

That being said, I receive much more traffic from Google than from Bing. Last month, for instance, I recorded 200 clicks from Google and only 28 from Bing.

While these numbers might seem insignificant to many of you, I'm mainly curious about the stark difference between the search engines. I wish I had Bing's ranking on Google Search! Any thoughts or suggestions?

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 ...
