I just discovered a bug in my code - reason for low ranking?

Hello guys,

I've been a lurker for a while and with the help of you all, I was able to understand keyword research more and more. My strategy is simple: create a hyper long tailed website that only does one thing and it does it well : it answers the question "what is this particular car of this specific year currently worth on the market?"

Now the issue I've discovered ( and i feel silly i never checked ) is that my templating had a bug, that didn't set the proper titles and description tags in the header of the pages. Lets say someone is looking for a Volkwagen Polo 1.2 from 2015. Then the title should've been something like: "2015 Volkwagen Polo second hand price and market value". Description was more descriptive. Instead, it was simply the default ( the bug ), which is the name of my website.

I launched a month ago, and I just discovered it so I feel like a little dumb dumb. The question here is: is this one of the reason why my rankings are so relatively low, even when I am going for hyper specific long tail content?

( I realise its also due to the young domain, and no backlinks )

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 ...
