What is the best way to deal with an event calendar
-
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 1.11All 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,

Best practices for switching site languages around
Hi folks. The site in question is at http://bit.ly/UDV186 It is split into English and Spanish versions, each at root/en and root/es respectively. The home page is in Spanish. We're trying to rank the site for English keywords so we want to switch the homepage to English and put the Spanish version as secondary. What are the best practices for this? Can we just literally swap the two versions around onto the existing URLs, i.e. take the English text and put it onto the home page? Provided all links point to the correct page, would that be fine? Are there any other best practice considerations to take? Thanks in advance.

Is there an easier way from the server to prevent duplicate page content?
I know that using either 301 or 302 will fix the problem of duplicate page content. My question would be; is there an easier way of preventing duplicate page content when it's an issue with the URL. For example: URL: http://example.com URL: http://www.example.com My guess would be like it says here, that it's a setting issue with the server. If anyone has some pointers on how to prevent this from occurring, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hundreds Of 404s Best Dealt Wtih 301-Palooza?
Was looking at a site's webmaster tools where there are a few hundred 404s for a site. God only knows where all those urls came from or what they once were or what. Two questions; How bad is all this for the site's overall ranking? Should I just make sure they go nowhere and 301 them all to the homepage or some other possibly relevant page? Anything bad that could happen with 301ing all this away? Also, the site has no sitemap submitted to Google. Any tips on that? Thanks!
