First blog post… would love some advice!!!

I have followed the advice I’ve been reading here and r/blogging and just published my first blog post (and launched my site)! From everything I’ve read, I guess my first post is doomed to be terrible and I’ll improve the more I write, but I’d still appreciate some advice!

My niche is neuroscience and I’m honestly having a bit of trouble making sure my content is easy enough to understand but also scientifically accurate. I’m quite worried my content is boring and robotic (I come from a science background that helped me learn to write technical reports not catchy blog posts …). I’m also struggling to fit in key words without it sounding unnatural.

Anyone from a similar background has any tips?

As for SEO and general audience growth, so far I have: - Added a site map to GSC for faster indexing (no pages indexed yet) - Got a cookie consent banner (beautiful cookie consent banner pluggin which supports WP Consent API pluggin). - Created a Pinterest account and some pins related to my blog post (have not got much success getting impressions though). - Shared it with a few people in my family but waiting for my site to be more polished before I share it with friends. - Added a FAQ section to my blog post

What I need still need to do: - Improve privacy policy and cookie policy page (if you’ve got any recommendations on how to create a privacy policy I’d love to hear them!!). - PUBLISH MORE BLOG POSTS (have some drafts already but really need to improve them) - Make sure the subscribe button works so I can create a mailing list. - More Pinterest pins? - Instagram account for short form content that links to my blog? - Share blog with more friends and family? - Contribute to relevant Reddit communities?

Any tips on other SEO strategies and how to implement them? But most importantly, any resources on how to write SEO-friendly science- related articles?

I would really appreciate if I you could take a look at my blog post (website link on my profile) and let me know what you think.

Thanks a lot!!

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 ...
