What has caused content served via JS to not be indexed by Google?

This is a question about Search Engine Optimization in the other direction - How can I make some content non-indexable without otherwise impacting the site?

I'm toying with a project to obfuscate content from AI on sites served via CDN. My current plan is to have javascript de-obfuscate the content on the client side, but implement in such a way that indexers won't be able to render the content. This does assume that AI content indexing and normal search engine are essentially equivalent, which I think is at least a good place to start. I'm pretty confident that I can multiply XOR encrypt the contents, using one of the network security obfuscation techniques, but that is running a race with the indexer for how much CPU it's willing to dedicate to the page render.

So the question I have for ya'll is - Have you found any JS that renders content that failed to be indexed? If so, how did the JS work?

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 ...
