SEO is extremely overrated

I've been making websites for many, many years. I'm 37 and doing my thing since 2009. I never, ever, have considered SEO as a pilar that cannot be "automated" with dynamic data entries. Not in all of these years. And all of my clients are doing fine.

This is a quantity thing. If you have 1000s of products, blogs or whatever you want to target, yes, I understand why you somehow want to have a unique approach per product, items or whatever. Other than that I really think this entire thing is just a bullshit job in general.

Whenever you're a SEO expert or whatever it is called in the company you work for, you're just doing a bullshit job. Like "Internal Communication Officer: Sending internal f*cking emails". It's just not a thing, it's just meta data judged by a bunch of systems that don't really make any actual real world difference in sales/views/whatever. And they can change at any moment.

It just doesn't make real life sense.

Companies paying a FULL SALARY for a SEO dude... Are just uninformed and dumb companies. This is not how the world and the internet works. It's one of the biggest bullshit jobs that exist in the current and future world. If you can ask $3000+ for a month for this shit? You're a scam. BUT I do respect you for using the trend in favour of you.

I'm not talking about AI to replace you. It's was never needed/useful for that.

And I really think that IF you work in this field, you're just bullshitting yourself with nonsense that never really mattered and actually never will matter.

An actual full scale SEO STUDY for this should be no longer than 8h in total even. An I think you know it. 1 DAY is the most you should know about this.

My opinion, my rant.

Looking forward for the downvotes!

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 ...
