Can I salvage my SEO blog?

I built a site and AI generated about 200 poor quality SEO blog entries, back when I naively underestimated google's site quality control. The blogs weren't all that much related to my site specific function (for context the site is for help for a specific thing in an education system, and I published blog entries for the whole education system of little unique value). The blogs didn't have internal linking or linking of any kind and were just text blobs + CTA visual elements in between.

Google caught on and demoted most of those pages, and my traffic dropped to max 20 daily impressions. Now I get more clicks/traffic but because users search up the name of my site directly as other marketing sources are succeeding.

I'd like to retry this blog approach but with proper high quality blog entries. But now I'm wondering wether im on google's bad side and this effort will be futile.

Furthermore overall, is my entire site not liked by google? Should I just focus on other traffic sources and give up on google SEO optimization? bing and other search engines don't penalize me as much but they aren't as big as google.

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 ...
