      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/

                      Best strategy to handle over 100,000 404 errors.

                      I recently been given a site that has over one-hundred thousand 404 error codes listed in Google Webmasters. It is really odd because according to Google Webmasters, the pages that are linking to these 404 pages are also pages that no longer exist (they are 404 pages themselves). These errors were a result of site migration that had occurred. Appreciate any input on how one might go about auditing and repairing large amounts of 404 errors. Thank you.

                      Disallow: /404/ - Best Practice?

                      Hello Moz Community, My developer has added this to my robots.txt file: Disallow: /404/ Is this considered good practice in the world of SEO? Would you do it with your clients? I feel he has great development knowledge but isn't too well versed in SEO. Thank you in advanced, Nico.

                      What is the best way to find stranded pages?

                      I have a client that has a site that has had a number of people in charge of it. All of these people have very different opinions about what should be on the site itself. When I look at their website on the server I see pages that do not have any obvious navigation to them. What is the best way to find out the internal linking structure of a site and see if these pages truly are stranded?

                      Any way around buying hosting for an old domain to 301 redirect to a new domain?

                      Howdy. I have just read this QA thread, so I think I have my answer. But I'm going to ask anyway! Basically DomainA.com is being retired, and DomainB.com is going to be launched. We're going to have to redirect numerous URLs from DomainA.com to DomainB.com. I think the way to go about this is to continue paying for hosting for DomainA.com, serving a .htaccess from that hosting account, and then hosting DomainB.com separately. Anybody know of a way to avoid paying for hosting a .htaccess file on DomainA.com? Thanks!

                      Internal vs external blog and best way to set up

                      I have a client that has two domians registered - one uses www.keywordaustralia.com the other uses www.keywordaelaide.com He had already bought and used the first domain when he came to me I suggested the second as being worth buying as going for a more local keyword would be more appropriate. Now I have suggested to him that a blog would be a worthy use of the second domain and a way to build links to his site - however I am reading that as all links will be from the same site it wont be worth much in the long run and an internal blog is better as it means updated content on his site. should i use the second domain for blog, or just 301 the second domain to his first domain. Or is it viable to use the second domain as the blog and just set up an rss feed on his page ? Is there a way to have the second domain somehow 'linked' to his first domain with the blog so that google sees them as connected ? NOOBIE o_0

                      Does anyone have a recommendation for the best xml sitemap plugin for wordpress sites or do you steer clear of plugins and use a sitemap generator then load it up to the root manually?
