Bumping search results off the first page...

This is somewhat tangential to SEO, but I figure that you SEO experts would have the best ideas...

I have a unique full name (completely unrelated to my Reddit username), and a Google search of it returns 3-4 hits on the first screen about a lawsuit filed (and subsequently dismissed) against me by my nutjob sister. I'd love to bury those results and am wondering what are good strategies for getting more, higher-ranking results for a search on my name.

I'm a pretty average Joe, not likely to win a bunch of awards or make the news. Most of the blogging I do is fairly anonymous. I do have my own company (solo consultant) with a website/blog--but only 4-5 entries over the last 5 years.

The lawsuit information aggregator sites are merely collecting and displaying information in the public, so there's nothing to contest with Google about it.

Any ideas on how to get "Google famous" enough to bump the lawsuit results down?

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 ...
