          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,

                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,

                          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.

                          Best & easiest way to 301 redirect on IIS

                          Hi all, What is the best and easiest way to 301 redirect URLs on IIS server? I got access to the FTP and WordPress back office, but no access to the server admin. Is there an easy way to create 301 redirect without having to always annoy the tech in charge of the server? Thanks!

                          ECommerce: Best Practice for expired product pages

                          I'm optimizing a pet supplies site (http://www.qualipet.ch/) and have a question about the best practice for expired product pages. We have thousands of products and hundreds of our offers just exist for a few months. Currently, when a product is no longer available, the site just returns a 404. Now I'm wondering what a better solution could be: 1. When a product disappears, a 301 redirect is established to the category page it in (i.e. leash would redirect to dog accessories). 2. After a product disappers, a customized 404 page appears, listing similar products (but the server returns a 404) I prefer solution 1, but am afraid that having hundreds of new redirects each month might look strange. But then again, returning lots of 404s to search engines is also not the best option. Do you know the best practice for large ecommerce sites where they have hundreds or even thousands of products that appear/disappear on a frequent basis? What should be done with those obsolete URLs?

                          Found a Typo in URL, what's the best practice to fix it?

                          Wordpress 3.4, Yoast, Multisite The URL is supposed to be "www.myexample.com/great-site" but I just found that it's "www.myexample.com/gre-atsite" It is a relatively new site but we already pointed several internal links to "www.myexample.com/gre-atsite" What's the best practice to correct this? Which option is more desirable? 1.Creating a new page I found that Yoast has "301 redirect" option in the Advanced tap Can I just create a new page(exact same page) and put noindex, nofollow and redirect it to http://www.myexample.com/great-site OR 2. htacess redirect rule simply change the URL to http://www.myexample.com/great-site and update it, and add Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On

                          What are your best tips for SEO on a shopping cart?

                          So, I am working on a shopping cart platform (X-Cart) and so far don't like it. Also, the web designer is not someone I've worked with before and he is understandably conservative about access--which limits what I can and cannot do from the back end. One of the things I like to do is include text for the search engines. However, based on conversion, etc., I think the product images on a landing page (main brand info with specific products that show up) should show up first to move toward conversion first. I am thinking of adding the text below the product images on the brand pages so the viewer sees the products first while still keeping the content seo. My practice is to use between 300-350 words minimum on a page. Just wondering what best practices you have for a shopping cart. Care to share? Any tips or hints? Thoughts on what I might do that would be most effective? As always, thanks in advance for your sage advice!
