Helpful Content

OK, I keep seeing people talking about all this EEAT BS spilled by Google for years, but the reality is that the core metric here is interactions. I was saying this a while ago, but they've come out to say now that if they find content relevant but users don't with interactions reflecting that, they'll dump it from the index. So, if your content isn't something you wouldn't be excited to read or share quickly, then it's likely not going to get traction.

I wrote a whole thing about this on my website today. It's been two years of this, and all the results rolling in from agencies pushing AI vibe content is atrocious. You simply can't just spin up AI content and hope to perform well. Spindexing tanked in like 2012 and Google was wise to the PBNs pretty fast.

Half of SEO is ranking, and the rest is turning those people into satisfied customers. If you haven't figured that out yet it's going to be a long journey. Stop pushing superficial click metrics and start looking really strongly with conversions and pages getting traction. If they're not read, or performing either rewrite or delete them.

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.

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 ...
