      I have an event calendar that has multiple repeating items into the future. They are classes that typically all have the same titles but will occasionally have different information. I don't know what is the best way to deal with them and am open to suggestions.

      Currently Moz anayltics is showing multiple errors (duplicate page titles, descriptions and overly dynamic urls). I'm assuming that it's showing duplicate elements way into the future.

      I thought of having the calendar no followed at all but the content for the classes seems valuable.

      Thanks,

          A great completely and this is a good example of the type of difference changing the robots.txt file could make

          I would read all the information you can on it as it seems to be constantly updating.

          I used this info below as an example of a happy ending but to see the problems I would read all the stories you will see if you check out this link.

          http://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/page/2

          CPU usage from over 90% to less than 15%. Memory usage dropped by almost half, from 1.95 GB to 1.1 GB including cache/buffers.

          My setup is as follows:

          Linode 2GB VPS
          Nginx 1.41
          Percona SQL Server using XtraDB
          PHP-FPM 5.4 with APC caching db requests and opcode via W3 Total Cache
          Wordpress 3.52
          All in One Event Calendar 1.11

          All the Best,

          Thomas

            I got the robots.txt file I hope this will help you.

            This is built into every GetFlywheel.com website they are a managed WordPress only hosting company

            website the reason they did this was the same reason Dan as described above.

            I'm not saying this is a perfect fix however after speaking with the founder of GetFlywheel I know they place this in the robots.txt file for every website that they host in order to try get rid of the crawling issue.

            This is an exact copy of any default robots.txt file from getflywheel.com

            Default Flywheel robots file

            User-agent: *
            Disallow: /wp-admin/
            Disallow: /wp-includes/

            Disallow: /calendar/action:posterboard/
            Disallow: /calendar/action:agenda/
            Disallow: /calendar/action:oneday/
            Disallow: /calendar/action:month/
            Disallow: /calendar/action:week/
            Disallow: /calendar/action:map/

            As found on a brand-new website. If you Google "Max CPU All in one calendar" you will see more about this issue.

            I hope this is of help to you,

            Thomas

            PS

            here is what

            The maker of the all in one event calendar has listed on their site as a fix

              Hi Landon

              I had a client with a similar situation. Here's what I feel is the best goal;

              Calendar pages (weeks/months/days etc) - don't crawl, don't index

              Specific event pages - crawl and index

              Most likely the calendar URLs have not been indexed, but you can check with some site: searches. Assuming the have not been indexed, the best solution was to block crawling to certain URLs with robots.txt - calendars can go off into infinity, and you don't want to send the crawlers off into a black hole as it's not good for crawl budget, or for directing them to your actual content.

                is this the all-in-one event calendar for WordPress?

                If so I can give you the information or you can just Google CPU Max WordPress

                essentially you have to change the robots.txt file so the crawlers don't have huge issues as they do now with it.

                Get flywheel has that built into their robots.txt file if that is your issue I can go in and grab it for you.

                Sincerely,

                Thomas

                  Besides this, take a look at the schema markup for Events it might help you mark up the page better so Google will understand what the page/ event is about: http://schema.org/Event

                    Are the same classes in the future link to the same page? are you using canonical tags correctly? Your URL should help diagnose the problem and guide you better,

                      Best way to link to multiple location pages

                      I am a Magician and have multiple location pages for each county I cover. I currently have them linked off the menu under locations/ <county>and also in the footer</county> However I have heard that a link from the page is much stronger, so I am experimenting with removing the Menu & Footer link and just linking to these pages from within the content. It's not really a navigation item and most people come in through search to the right page. Am I diluting the link by having it in the Menu/Page and Footer? I read a long time ago that Google only considers the first link to a page and ignores the rest - is that the case? Thanks Roger https://www.rogerlapin.co.uk/

                      What's the best way to test Angular JS heavy page for SEO?

                      Hi Moz community, Our tech team has recently decided to try switching our product pages to be JavaScript dependent, this includes links, product descriptions and things like breadcrumbs in JS. Given my concerns, they will create a proof of concept with a few product pages in a QA environment so I can test the SEO implications of these changes. They are planning to use Angular 5 client side rendering without any prerendering. I suggested universal but they said the lift was too great, so we're testing to see if this works. I've read a lot of the articles in this guide to all things SEO and JS and am fairly confident in understanding when a site uses JS and how to troubleshoot to make sure everything is getting crawled and indexed. https://sitebulb.com/resources/guides/javascript-seo-resources/ However, I am not sure I'll be able to test the QA pages since they aren't indexable and lives behind a login. I will be able to crawl the page using Screaming Frog but that's generally regarded as what a crawler should be able to crawl and not really what Googlebot will actually be able to crawl and index. Any thoughts on this, is this concern valid? Thanks!

                      What is SEO best practice to implement a site logo as an SVG?

                      What is SEO best practice to implement a site logo as an SVG?
                      Since it is possible to implement a description for SVGs it seems that it would be possible to use that for the site name. <desc>sitename</desc>
                          {{ STUFF }} There is also a title tag for SVGs. I’ve read in a thread from 2015 that sometimes it gets confused with the title tag in the header (at least by Moz crawler) which might cause trouble. What is state of the art here? Any experiences and/or case studies with using either method? <title>sitename</title>
                          {{ STUFF }} However, to me it seems either way that best practice in terms of search engines being able to crawl is to load the SVG and implement a proper alt tag: What is your opinion about this? Thanks in advance.

                      We're currently changing the URL format of our website search, we have been discussing a lot and cannot decide the past way to pass the pagination parameter for SEO. We narrowed down to the options. www.website.com/apples/p2 - www.website.com/apples?page=2 - www.website.com/apples/page/2 What would give us best ranking returns? What do you think?

                      What is the best URL designed for a product page?

                      Should a product page URL include the category name and subcategory name in it? Most ecommerce platforms it seems are designed to do have the category and sub-category names included in the URL followed by the product name. If that is the case and the same product is listed in more then 1 category and sub-category then will that product have 2 unique urls and as a result be treated as 2 different product pages by google?   And then since it is the same product in two places on the site won't google treat those 2 pages as having duplicate content? SO is it best to not have the category and sub-category names in the URL of a product page? And lastly, is there a preferred character limit for a URL to be less than in size? Thanks!
