Event Schema markup for multiple events (same location/address)?
-
I was wondering if its possible to markup multiple events on the same page for one location/address using the event schema.org markup? I tried doing it on a sample page below:
http://www.rama.id.au/event-schema-test/
Google's schema testing tool shows that its all good (except for warning for offers). Just wanted to know if I am doing it correctly or is there a better solution. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

You can use this as a template
Or use this great tool https://jsonld.com/json-ld-generator/
(remember with JSON-LD you must have the content in HTML if you post via JSON-LD)

Hi Vincent
Again, it may be a matter of creating individual pages for each event w proper Schema, or it is possible to use tags in Schema as well. So, each event would be wrapped by their proper Event tag, with the address information in a meta tag included. Both are rather tedious. You can read more here:
https://schema.org/docs/gs.html#schemaorg_testing
Ideally though, you'd have an individual page for each event.
You could follow Ticketmaster's path and use data-vocabulary.com markup, however, Schema is the standard. If you're wondering what I mean, run the following URL through the Google Structure Data Markup Tester I linked to in my previous comment:
http://www.ticketmaster.com/Chicago-Bulls-tickets/artist/805914
Sorry for not posting links - I am on my phone and I cannot. Will update in the AM.
Hope these help! Good luck!

Hello Oleg and Patrick
Thank you so much gentlemen for helping me out. Unfortunately, I cannot wrap each event in it's own using itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Event" as each event will then require me to specify the same address multiple times due to the "location" attribute being a required field. Since the address occurs only once on the pageI am bound to use it only once by tying the same address to multiple address. On a side note, how come the Google schema testing tool able to pass my implementation on the sample URL?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks once again.

I agree with Oleg here - each event should have it's own page.
That being said, it is possible to markup individual events on the same page, because each event is has it's own unique attributes. Each event will be wrapped in it's own itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Event" - so be mindful of that.
You can read more here.
Keep in mind Google and Yandex have structured data markup testing tools.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

You should create separate events for each event you have (even if the location is the same)
from https://schema.org/Event --> "Repeated events may be structured as separate Event objects."

What do you do with product pages that are no longer used ? Delete/redirect to category/404 etc
We have a store with thousands of active items and thousands of sold items. Each product is unique so only one of each. All products are pinned and pushed online ... and then they sell and we have a product page for a sold item. All products are keyword researched and often can rank well for longtail keywords Would you :- 1. delete the page and let it 404 (we will get thousands) 2. See if the page has a decent PA, incoming links and traffic and if so redirect to a RELEVANT category page ? ~(again there will be thousands) 3. Re use the page for another product - for example a sold ruby ring gets replaces with ta new ruby ring and we use that same page /url for the new item. Gemma

Schema.org product offer with a price range, or multiple offers with single prices?
I'm implementing Schema.org, (JSON-LD), on an eCommerce site. Each product has a few different variations, and these variations can change the price, (think T-shirts, but blue & white cost $5, red is $5.50, and yellow is $6). In my Schema.org markup, (using JSON-LD), in each Product's Offer, I could either have a single Offer with a price range, (minPricd: $5, maxPrice $6), or I could add a separate Offer for each variation, each with its own, correct, price set. Is one of these better than the other? Why? I've been looking at the WooCommerce code and they seem to do the single offer with a price range, but that could be because it's more flexible for a system that's used by millions of people.

Google displays multiple titles for same article. What does this mean?
I've linked to some screenshots so that it what I'm talking about makes more sense. Sometimes, when I perform a search, I see an article with the correct article title listed as the page title in the SERPs. Other times, I see the wrong page title – it's a generic somethin' or other done by my client's web design company with a bunch of keywords thrown in. The latter (not the correct article title) also appears at the top of the browser tab for every article on my client's site. I know this is bad, but what can be done about it? This would never happen if my client used Wordpress or some easily modifiable CMS, but they're using a proprietary one maintained by the group that designed the website. open?id=0BxB_dYL1ylGgVVF1dHlwdXp2dFU open?id=0BxB_dYL1ylGgdWJjdlJoRlRIR00

Schema markup for products is missing "price": Is this bad?
Hey guys, So a current client of mine has an e-commerce shop with a few hundred products. They purposely choose to keep the prices off of their website, which is causing errors in Google Webmaster Tools. Basically the error shows: Error: Structured Data > Product (markup: schema.org) Error type: missing price 208 items with error Is this a huge deal? Or are we allowed to have non-numerical prices for schema ie. "call for quote"

How to 301 multiple domain names to a single domain
Hey, I tried to find and answer to this seemingly simple question, but no luck. So, I have one domain name with a website attached to it. I also registered all the other domain names that are similar to it or have different extensions - I want to redirect all the other domain names to my one main domain name without getting penalised by the big G. It looks like this: www.mainsite.com - this is my main domain I also have www.mainsite.com.au, www.mainsite.org, and www.mainsite.org.au which I all want to just redirect to www.mainsite.com I have been told that the best way to do this is a 301 redirect, but to do that you need to make a CNAME for all the other domains that points to www.mainsite.com. My problem is that I cannot seem to create a CNAME record for http://mainsite.com - I have it working for http://www.mainsite.com but not the non www record. What should I be doing differently? Is it just my DNS provider is useless? Thanks, Anthony

Schema for Price Comparison Services - Good or Bad?
Hey guys, I was just wondering what the whole schema.org markup means for people that run search engines (i.e. for a niche, certain products) or price comparison engines in general. The intend behind schema.org was to help the engines better understand the pages content. Well, I guess such services don't necessarily want Google to understand that they're just another search engine (and thus might get thrown out of the index for polluting it with search result pages). I see two possible scenarios: either not implement them or implement them in a way that makes the site not look like an aggregator, i.e. by only marking up certain products with unique text. Any thoughts? Does the SEOmoz team has any advice on that? Best,
