Statistical SEO: questions.

I was recently asked about my statistical knowledge in SEO.

I have experience in technical SEO and some foundation in statistical SEO.

I recently reviewed what I already knew and used regularly in order to better prepare for potential interview questions.

Here’s what I’ve worked with so far:

  • Segmentation modeling (based on a user-defined value p, using the mean and standard deviation, z-score + mean/std dev)
  • Simple linear regression with handling of complex cases (inverse transformation, log, square root)
  • Multiple linear regression (standard error, F-statistic)
  • Collinearity and distribution coefficients
  • Statistical significance (p-value)

Based on ChatGPT’s recommendation, I’ve decided to go further and explore:

  • Stepwise regression
  • Partial variance analysis

Are there any other tools or methods I should look into, or is it more about understanding how to interpret the results correctly?

If I may ask, what kind of questions have you been asked so far?
On my end, it's mostly been about tool management and technical SEO knowledge, not so much about statistical SEO or case study analysis.

Thanks for the help.

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 ...
