Who should new SEOs listen to, to understand the algorithm?

I have been studying SEO for about a year and a half. Initially, I got into it for affiliate marketing, through blog posting. I quickly realized that that doesn't work for a new website in 2024. I understand that you need to be a brand and that you need topical authority. I switched my efforts from affiliate blogging to e-commerce, and am building a brand/business, but the more I study SEO, the less I understand. Everywhere I get information from is either inconclusive, basic and obvious, or outright bs... Recently Kasra Dash has been posting a lot and I like his content and I also like Kyle Roof, but guys like, neil patel, Koray, Matt Diggity, Adam Enfroy, Wes Mcdonald, Nathan Gotch are ALL trying to sell something and ALL are click baiting and cleary just taking what they know about SEO and trying to build their brand through the youtube platform. I am not saying they don't sometimes provide useful information, but like I said, none of them are very helpful and can't be trusted IMO.

TLDR: What information is out there, that isn't BS, a sales pitch, or painfully obviously like "You need to become a topical authority"

P.S. 'Free SEO Keyword Research & SERP Analyzer GPT' has also been helpful for me.

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 ...
