Seeking Advice: Choosing My Path: SEO or UX/UI Design, Seeking Clarity

Hey everyone,

I recently completed a course on digital marketing, where I gained understanding of various aspects such as SEO, Google Ads and Facebook ads.

Recently, I discovered a separate field of UX/UI which i didn't know until now.

Since then, I have been learning UX/UI. Doing 100 days of UI and have learned about Design thinking process. basically, I'm doing things practically.

I understand that there is a connection between UX and SEO, as both play crucial roles in creating successful digital experiences. However, I am torn between specializing in SEO or UX/UI. Though I'm more interested in UX/UI. But since I did a marketing course (which includes SEO), that can help to find a job. I'm also familiar that both fields are saturated as well.

From what I have been told, UX/UI and SEO/Digital marketing, both are 2 different fields (which means, transition from SEO to UX won't help if I work in SEO for some years in SEO). Also, I have started working in SEO but I think SEO is too technical. Obviously, I knew what SEO was. I was more interested in UX/UI but I was conflicted between SEO & UX/UI and picked SEO because did a course on Digital Marketing and from what I have read on reddit, UX/UI jobs can be tough to get into (Certifications won't work), can be toxic, too much politics involved.

Regarding paid marketing in digital marketing, for the first time, I felt that stress. I honestly don't think it's for me, at least paid marketing.

If you have any insights or advice to offer, I would greatly appreciate it. Should I focus my efforts on becoming an SEO and then move to UI/UX or should I dive deeper into the realm of UX/UI design and start finding jobs?

Your guidance would be immensely helpful. Thank you!

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 ...
