Two things considered impossible. I'd like to test that properly.

Two beliefs seem to be treated as settled facts around here:

  1. Sites hit by HCU (or GCU) cannot recover.
  2. A brand new domain with no history, no links, and no signals cannot get indexed by Google in any reasonable timeframe.

I disagree with both, and I think the community would benefit from testing them properly rather than just debating them endlessly.

Challenge 1 — HCU/GCU Recovery

If you have a site hit by HCU or GCU that you consider unrecoverable, I'll take a look. Requirements: real site, no bad history, no adult content, English or Spanish. We'll audit it and tell you honestly whether it can be fixed and what it would take. As a bonus, if the site has no AI presence, we'll fix that too.

Since this would involve real work and resources, if we move forward and WE SUCCEED, there's a fee ( usually in the 4-5 figure range depending on complexity). Funds held in escrow so both sides are protected. I mention this for transparency, not as the point of the exercise.

Challenge 2 — New Domain Indexing

I'll personally register a fresh domain (no history, no links, nothing) and get it indexed on Google within a week. This one I'll do alone, no team. Happy to set a small bet ($100–$500) with anyone who thinks it can't be done. Any winnings go to charity.

Either way, we get an actual answer instead of another 500-comment debate going nowhere.

Happy to be proven wrong. It happens.

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 ...
