If you were to create a SaaS product, what would you avoid doing given you know SEO very well ?

Asking this question, because i know a lot of saas founders biggest issue is marketing their product and not getting customers etc.

I know some SEO, i'm aware of black hat / white hat SEO. I ranked some simple wordpress websites years ago.

There is a common idea or mantra that is nailed in my head, and that is to never create a niche website when there is a shit ton of competition. Doing keyword research, checking the montly searches was a way to measure how saturated a keyword is.

Given the knowledge of the stats, you create a niche website around a low competitive keyword that has a good amount of searches a month. From there you create your niche website, create tons of articles, get a few clean backlinks, and monetize with Adsense(eventually).

The success (ranked 1st page for keyword) of a micro niche website was contingent upon keyword research, and targeting obscure keywords.

Now, i saw all of the above to say, should saas founders have a similar approach when creating their saas product ? Making sure their product is not way to competive in keywords. Finding a sweet spot where they can potentially rank their product without to much competition, etc ?

As someone who has done some SEO in the past, this seems like a good approach to take.... I don't plan on having the next unicorn SaaS, but having a micro saas with a few users, that i charge $9.99 a month, is more or less what im trying to accomplish.

Curious to know your thoughts.

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 ...
