Can a website be penalized forever?

Quick context: A friend of mine had a decent DA website - 26 which she created 7-8 years back.

She initially focused on it and eventually lost interest as SEO was too hard for her. Focused on Psychology today listings.

Last year, someone injected Malware into her website which looked somewhat like a Captcha kind of a pop up. However I checked her Search Console and since there were just 1-2 impressions a day max and probably Google's crawlers didn't crawl the website there wasn't any manual action.

I've recently started publishing articles for her however the maximum impressions she has gotten are 50 a day. There is definitely an uptick in traffic but not enough impressions. There are more than 50 pages on the website.

  1. What can I do so that she gets more impressions?

  2. Can this be a consequence of her website being marked by Google as Spam?

  3. Any steps I can troubleshoot this?

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 ...
