How to skip SEO tactic websites using search engines in 2024?

Hello.

In case you haven't noticed, browsing the internet is perhaps now more difficult than ever before. Whilst its easy to access commercial sites like amazon, or netflix, it is very difficult to find any information. SEO poisoning has turned search engines into glorified ad spaces. When I search "how to do cpr" on bing for instance I have to click in to several sites, links, scroll around etc... go back a page etc.. before I'll find actual instructions. The results are just as bad for google, the first result is looking for me to buy a pdf not in english (in spite of searching in English) of first aid, from someone who isn't even a doctor... It's embarrassing for humanity.

This is incredibly concerning, and incredibly frustrating. AI has also just been making this problem worse, with some users saying that they can only get a response from some ai if they threaten to change search engine provider... Whilst chatgpt was capable of giving decent responses on launch, I'm no longer able to use it to provide relevant information, its now very good at saying very little, using lots of words, and I think it's just getting worse.

SEO is destroying the most valuable asset ever created. How can the average user bypass the predatory SEO tactics? What are the weak spots, search terms etc... A lot of functionality is being eliminated from search engines also e.g. use of quotation marks doesn't work anymore etc... which is making this issue so much harder to resolve. I understand that this may not be something you would all like to answer; but it is an incredibly important issue that needs to be resolved. It's impacting everything from education and research, to medicine, business, climate change, and politics.

Please help fix the internet.

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 ...
