did I get shadowbanned from google?

I run an ecom brand that heavily relies on blog content for organic traffic and customer growth. For months, my site averaged around 8,000 impressions/day and 200 clicks/day, and I was using a service called Junia to AI assist with some articles, and had success for several months. But starting December 11, my performance suddenly dropped to roughly 1,000 impressions/day and 10 clicks/day and has not recovered. The only change I made that day was trying an AI-assisted keyword research tool junia offered once (I have not used it since), and the next day my impressions and clicks tanked. I received no warnings or messages from Google, so I’m unsure if this is related or if something else happened (manual action, algorithm punishment, indexing problem, etc.). This drop is severely hurting my business, and I’m posting to hopefully get a better understanding of what’s going on and what steps I need to take to fix it.

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 ...
