What is actually Google's plan for future?

I mean, the AI overviews is clearly a huge success as we can all see the big drop in organic traffic across all websites since it's launch.

Internet users are clearly not interested in browsing content sites anymore and it's only matter of time the organic results will be removed completely.

However, the biggest source of income for Google has always been Adsense, and the longer the visitors spent browsing content sites, the more money Google made.

Some visitors spent up to 10-30 minutes browsing a website, and they could see lots of ads in various formats, including sticky banners, vignettes, video ads, etc.

I can't see a future where Google will be making the same amount of money with just AI overviews compared to millions of visitors going to websites and seeing dozens of ads every single day.

Am I missing something?

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 ...
