Seeking SEO Tips to Revive My Educational Website After a Traffic Drop

Hello, everyone!

A few years ago, I built a website as a Software Development student with the help of a friend who handled the SEO. Fast forward five years, we both secured great jobs and essentially left the site to stagnate.

At its peak, our site was getting 100k organic visitors, but now we’re down to just 15k. We have around 450 articles, but only 50 of them are still driving significant traffic (last updated in 2020).

I’m looking for guidance on the best strategies to revive the site. What should be my top priorities for getting traffic back up?

Our site hosts educational content, and we monetize through ads.

Thanks for any advice or insights!

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 ...
