Anyone else seeing major traffic volatility in the past few weeks? (GSC screenshot inside)

Hey everyone,
I’ve been seeing some weird fluctuations in my Google Search Console data over the past few days. My impressions and clicks were pretty stable around 20-25K daily clicks, but starting around mid-April I’m seeing huge swings — some days dropping to almost zero, then partially recovering, then dropping again.
Total numbers for the period: ~202K clicks, ~1.84M impressions, average position 10.9.
A few questions:
1. Is anyone else experiencing similar volatility right now?
2. Are you aware of any confirmed Google algorithm update in the past 2-3 weeks?
3. Could this be a GSC reporting issue rather than an actual traffic drop? (I want to verify against my analytics)
Some context about my site:
• Niche: Software applications marketplace
• Age: 6 years
• No major changes on my end (no migration, no big content updates, no technical changes)
I’d appreciate any insights or if anyone can confirm they’re seeing similar patterns. Thanks!

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 ...
