Ahrefs, Robots.txt and Hard down in Google

Hello People,

I hope anyone could help me :

For two months, I spend few hours per week to build a little lifestyle blog (40 articles).

No AI, no Ads, no affiliate link, no duplicate content, no stealing, and I have a good exp and level in web/SEO in general.

Four days ago, while I was growing, I got a huge, incomprehensible strike : from between 1500/2500 impressions for 50/80 clics per day to 100 impressions for 3/5 clics.

I can't see any problem in the GSC, and no more where I try to find it else :

- Page Index are "OK"

- Sitemap OK

- HTPPS : OK / Core Web Vitals : Full Good / Breadcrumbs : Full good

- Manual Action or Security Problem : OK

- Links : OK (nothing to disallow)

- Google bot is still exploring the website a lot (between 300 to 400 per day)

Offsite, I have good signals : social network sending trafic, organic backlink (from forums), a little Youtube account linked with one video who do some views...

I cant found ANY FKCNG PROBLEM...!

The only thing I found is from Ahrefs : His crawl audit says me that my Robots.txt isnt accessible, and he cant access to my URL for twenty days (I have auto report). For example :

- 3 january : 347 URL crawled (including images) / Health Score : 95%

- 17 january : 413 URL crawled / Health Score : 74%

- 24 jan : 2 URL crawled / Health Score : 0%

- 31 jan : 2 URL crawled / Health Score : 0%

- yesterday : 2 URL crawled / Health Score : 0%

- today : 2 URL crawled / Health Score : 0%

But from my point of view, I can't see any technical problem, and I can't more understand where Ahrefs found a crawl problem than why Google erase my website from SERP. The site is accessible, Robots.txt too...

If I could, I would have shared even more telling screenshots with you, of course.

Could anyone has an idea ?

PLEASE HELP 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 ...
