I got my first strong backlink (as i think) and I have some questions

Hi everyone,

I just noticed that I landed my first strong backlink (as i think) from a site with a dr of 58. I’m trying to understand the quality of this link and what to expect next.

Here is a bit of context about the linking site:

DR: 58

Backlinks: 52.6K

Referring Domains: 1.69K

Traffic: They seem to get significant search traffic (over 1M monthly visits).

My questions are:

  1. Is this a good backlink? bc from my research, this site seems to act as an automated tool. When a user searches for something, the site apparently scrapes top Google results, uses ai to rewrite the content, cites the sources, and saves it as a new article.
  2. I’m worried that this model of auto-generating content might be considered thin or spammy by Google. If google penalizes this site later, will my backlink become toxic?
  3. Ahrefs picked up the link, but it still hasn't shown up in gsc. How long does it usually take for gsc to reflect new backlinks?
  4. When it finally appears in gsc , should I expect an immediate boost in my rankings, or is this more of a long-term signal?
  5. If this link is considered good, could I theoretically search for long-tail keywords where I already rank, force this site to index my content, and effectively generate a backlink for every single one of my pages? Is that a good strategy and does it work?
  6. how did this site manage to reach over 1M monthly visits and such a high dr despite having no personal expertise, no original content, and no unique user experience? What is the secret behind this massive traffic growth if they are essentially just re-packaging existing info?

I'm trying to learn whether this is a quality win or if I should be concerned about the source of the link. Any insights from the experienced SEOs here would be greatly appreciated

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 ...
