Question around using a subdomain

Hi community,

I have a question I wanted to pose. I am the owner of a teaching company called thedegreegap.com, and I am building out a PSEO subject X location matrix for local tutoring inquiries. My actual website, thedegreegap.com, is where operations happen and online tutoring occurs. I built the study.thedegreegap.com to run as my lead funnel, but I am not sure how feasible this is.

I run in a quite competitive space, so I am finding it hard to rank study.thedegreegap.com at the moment. It took me a year and a half to build up the domain authority of thedegreegap.com and to rank for those terms. I've been running this for three months, and my impressions are at 450 a day, which is a gradual increase, but it's still ranking on page three or four at the moment, even for long-tail terms.

I am wondering if I should move this whole website to thedegreegap.com and have it run on there. The only issue that I am finding is that it's built on the Hugo framework, and I don't want that to crash thedegreegap.com. I also don't like the idea of having my operations and marketing funnel on the same site, hence why I tried to separate them, but it's just really hard to rank study.thedegreegap.com, as it's a new domain with no or very low domain authority.

Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you very much.

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 ...
