I updated my website with better content and I ended up with -60% less visitors

I have a side project website. It is a guitar website that explains guitar theory in a interactive fashion. I worked on a site update for a long time because I noticed some of my calculations for the notes weren't correctly displayed and had to rewrite everything because of that. It is now truthful to music theory, and beside that Ive added few more pages and improved the explanations on each page. I would say it is better and more complete in many ways.

Now I never did much regarding getting eyes on the site before, so most visitors came naturally. I also dont have a big amount of visitors, but I was happy with the current amount because it means I made something valuable.

Now after the update the amount of visitors dropped, a lot. Thats a bummer!

I checked search console, there are more pages indexed and I dont have dead links or something. Everything looks good except theres way less visitors.

Questions: - Does this happen a lot, or how is that possible? - Should I just wait and see if it improves naturally? - .. other 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 ...
