      Hi,

      I’m looking  to add Schema markup to my company pages’s webinar page (recording past webinars) and data sheets, infographics, product videos, eBooks/white papers. For eBooks, I am primarily referring to a landing page with a gate to download a PDF document.

      I’m trying to determine the best markup type:

      For Webinars, I’ve seen suggestions to use “Event” type but that seems appropriate for future events, not something like a recorded webinar, which is not time-sensitive, unlike a live event. However, I see a StackOverflow forum to use http://schema.org/recordedIn for recorded webinars.

      For eBooks and White Papers, I see a few potential schema types:

      https://schema.org/DigitalDocument

      https://schema.org/CreativeWork

      http://schema.org/EBook (or https://schema.org/Book and then book format type of Ebook)

        I will create the schema for my movies website. I will create the Movie rating schema, Article schema and some more schemas that is need to my website.
        <script type="application/ld+json">
        {
        "@context": "https://schema.org",
        "@type": "Movie",
        "actor": [
        {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Johnny Depp"
        },
        {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Penelope Cruz"
        },
        {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Ian McShane"
        }
        ],
        "aggregateRating": {
        "@type": "AggregateRating",
        "bestRating": "10",
        "ratingCount": "200",
        "ratingValue": "8",
        "reviewCount": "50"
        },
        "author": [
        {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Ted Elliott"
        },
        {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Terry Rossio"
        }
        ],
        "description": "Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.",
        "director": {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Rob Marshall"
        },
        "name": "Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides (2011)"
        }
        </script>
        This schema is help me to index my website fastly.

          @WhiteHat1 Hey there! For a webinar, the most appropriate schema would be a combination of Event and OnDemandEvent due to its online nature. However, as of my last update, OnDemandEvent was more suitable for an event like a movie or TV show that is available for streaming whenever you want to watch it, rather than a live webinar that takes place at a specific time.

          For most live webinars, you should use the Event type with an eventAttendanceMode property set to OnlineEventAttendanceMode. The VirtualLocation type would also be used instead of a physical address.

          Here's an example of what that schema might look like:

          <script type="application/ld+json">
          {
          "@context": "https://schema.org",
          "@type": "Event",
          "name": "Interactive Webinar on Data Science",
          "description": "Join our expert panel as they delve into the latest trends in Data Science. This webinar will cover a range of topics from predictive analytics to deep learning.",
          "startDate": "2023-12-01T18:00:00+00:00",
          "endDate": "2023-12-01T19:30:00+00:00",
          "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OnlineEventAttendanceMode",
          "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled",
          "location": {
          "@type": "VirtualLocation",
          "url": "https://www.webinarhost.com/event123"
          },
          "image": "https://www.webinarhost.com/images/event123_banner.jpg",
          "organizer": {
          "@type": "Organization",
          "name": "Data Science Community Forum",
          "url": "https://www.datascienceforum.org"
          },
          "performer": {
          "@type": "Person",
          "name": "Dr. Jane Doe",
          "url": "https://www.datascienceforum.org/speakers#JaneDoe"
          },
          "offers": {
          "@type": "Offer",
          "url": "https://www.webinarhost.com/register/event123",
          "price": "0",
          "priceCurrency": "USD",
          "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock",
          "validFrom": "2023-11-01T09:00:00+00:00"
          },
          "audience": {
          "@type": "EducationalAudience",
          "audienceType": "Professional"
          },
          "recordedIn": {
          "@type": "CreativeWork",
          "name": "Data Science Webinar Series"
          }
          }
          </script>

          Some points to consider:

          eventAttendanceMode: Specifies that the event is an online event.
          location: Uses VirtualLocation with a url property to indicate where the webinar can be accessed.
          offers: Contains details about the registration or ticketing, which in this case indicates a free event.
          recordedIn: If the webinar is part of a series, you might include this to reference the series.
          Make sure to validate your structured data using Google's Rich Results Test or similar tools to check for any errors or warnings that might affect how search engines interpret and display your content.

          I really hope that this helps!

            Schema markup concerning category pages on an ecommerce site

            We are adding json+ld data to an ecommerce site and myself and one of the other people working on the site are having a minor disagreement on things. What it comes down to is how to mark up the category page. One of us says it needs to be marked up with as an Itempage, https://schema.org/ItemPage  The other says it needs to be marked up as products, with multiple product instances in the schema, https://schema.org/Product The main sticking point on the Itemlist is that Itemlist is a child of intangible, so there is a feeling that should be used for things like track listings or other arbitrary data.

            Why does Google rank a product page rather than a category page?

            Hi, everybody In the Moz ranking tool for one of our client's (the client sells sport equipment) account, there is a trend where more and more of their landing pages are product pages instead of category pages. The optimal landing page for the term "sleeping bag" is of course the sleeping bag category page, but Google is sending them to a product page for a specific sleeping bag.. What could be the critical factors that makes the product page more relevant than the category page as the landing page?

            Ecommerce Site - Duplicate product descriptions & SKU pages

            Hi I have a couple of questions regarding the best way to optimise SKU pages on a large ecommerce site. At the moment we have 2 landing pages per product - one is the primary landing page with no SKU, the other includes the SKU in the URL so our sales people & customers can find it when using the search facility on the site. The SKU landing page has a canonical pointing to the primary page as they're duplicates. Is this the best way? Or is it better to have the one page with the SKU in the URL? Also, we have loads of products with the very similar product descriptions, I am working on trying to include a unique paragraph or few sentences on these to improve the content - how dangerous is the duplicate content within your own site? I know its best to have totally unique content, but it won't be possible on a site with thousands of products and a small team. At the moment I am trying to prioritise the products to update. Thank you 🙂

            We have two different websites with the same products and information, will that hurt our rankings?

            We have two different domains, one for the UK and the other for the US, they have the exact same products, categories and information. (the information is almost the same in 400 products) We know that Google could recognize that as duplicate content, but will that actually hurt our rankings in both sites? Is it better if we create two completely different versions of the content on those pages?

            Ecommerce Duplicate Product Descriptions across 3 websites

            Hi, We are an e commerce company that has our own domain but also sell the same products on eBay and Amazon. What is the feeling on the same exact descriptions being used on different platforms? Do they count as duplicate content? Will our domain be punished/penalised as our domain does not have as much authority as EBay or Amazon? We have over 5,000 products with our own hand written product descriptions. We want our website to be the main place/ have priority over the above market places. What's the best suggestion/solution? thanks,

            Add Videos Above or Below the Fold?

            We are considering adding videos to thousands of article pages, and were wondering if it would be better to add video above or below the fold? They take up quite a bit of space, and push the article content below the fold--would this hurt us?
