Blog hit 500k pageviews, now got hit by updates. Worth investing more? Need advice.

Hey Reddit community,

I started blogging in June 2021 and was thrilled to see my blog reach around 500k pageviews by August 2023. It's a foodblog about sugarfree / low carb / healthy recipes. Post several updates, I've seen a significant drop in organic traffic and lost a lot of my rankings. (about -20% clicks) My main concern: I'm still losing about 10% in traffic every week. And it's the season of the year when I usually saw traffic increasing.

Not only I've invested a lot of time and effort into it I still have 3 freelancers working on the blog and publishing about 20 recipe posts each month.

Now I'm wondering: Should I continue to invest money and time into the blog? Update older posts instead of posting new ones? Or does this decline indicate a deeper issue that might not be salvageable?

Would appreciate any insights, advice, or experiences you've had in similar situations. Thanks in advance!

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 ...
