I have a site with jokes. What schema markup could I use?
-
My site is about jokes. I wonder what schema markup could I use to be more visible in the search results.

Thank you very much. And what do you think about the other questions?

There a good article on best practices for pagination here, on Moz: https://moz.com/blog/pagination-best-practices-for-seo-user-experience
I personally think, that 10 jokes per page is not a very good practice (obviously depends on how long the jokes are).
1. 100 Jokes is too much to swallow in one sitting.
2. People don't like pagination when it comes to entertaining content, it always seems like you just want to grab more clicks out of nothing.I would break those 100 jokes into 5 separate posts, via keyword research, which will help you find neutral niches for your jokes, regardless of your content. Something like "Best jokes for teenagers" (~600 monthly searches) / best new jokes (~ 400 searches, and who cares if they're not really new).
It's better to have 5 different posts like that one, it's easier to rank for these keywords as they're less competitive than just "best jokes", and you'll have a solid semantic structure, crawlers will see that your website is all bout lists of jokes, which is what you really want to achieve here.

Thank you very much indeed. I am new to Schema.org.
Is this how I should do the list:
Title of list
Joke 1
Jokes 2
....I have a Top 100 on 10 sites (pagination). Shall I use always the same title? Or can I used on each site a slightly different title (e.g. Jokes Top 100 | Part 3)
Shall I put something else on the site (for example in the head of the site.)
-
I would create lists. So list item markup.
Something like "25 Best Jokes About Horses", "17 Funniest Puns","Best knock-knock jokes"
Btw, Buzzfeed ranks on #0 for the last one: http://i.imgur.com/bws4qDe.png And they used a simple list item for markup.

Reducing number of site pages?
Hi, I am looking through my site structure and I have a lot of pages left over from the days of article keywords. Probably 7 or 8 years ago, someone sold my husband on article key word pages. I have slowly gotten rid of a lot of them as they have fallen out out of the ranks. I would like to get rid of the rest, probably 5 or 6 pages. Will it hurt my rankings to delete pages and redirect them? My customers really like the simplicity of our site and I want to keep it that way, plus clean up flags that Moz is telling me is a problem. I think its easier to keep less pages top notch than have to worry with a lot of them. Especially since my customers aren't viewing them. Thanks in advance!

On Site Question: Duplicate H2...
Hi All A few on-site audit tools pull information on duplicate H2 tags on pages. This implies it's a bad thing and should be fixed - is that the case? On one of my sites the tag-line is in H2 in the header, so appears on every page... Just wondering if this is something worth fixing. Thanks

Tags vs. Categories? What should I use?
I'm starting with a blog (self-hosted wordpress) and I'm thinking of the following content structure so that the readers are easily able to locate relevant content: Background: It's a blog which gives people relevant info about government jobs. To start with we will just be publishing information about these jobs but over a period of time also intend to post content that helps readers prepare for these jobs. In other words, right now it's just about detailed job notifications but in the coming months, we shall also post about preparation-related information. Typically, each of the job notifications can be bifurcated like: Jobs basis industry Banking Railways Clinical, etc. Jobs basis company ABC co. DEF co. XYZ co. etc. Jobs basis State / City City 1 City 2, etc. Jobs basis educational qualification Graduation Post-Graduation, etc. Now, I'm seriously confused how should I structure this data from the perspective of Categories & Tags such that it's reader as well as SEO-friendly. Do note that each of the government jobs post ideally falls in a couple of above mentioned categories. Thanks..

Best Way to Use Date in Title
Hi, I do most of the current copy for our blog which you can find here http://appointedd.com/blog/ I believe having a regular blog structure with a mix of irregular ad hoc posts to go in around these. So, for this blog, I write an article on "Beauty Industry News" every week. Now, I don't want to use the same title for each post, so I've peen butting in the date after each one i.e. "Beauty Industry News - 24/04/13". Is this best practice or is there a better way of naming regular posts? Thanks in advance!
