SEO Friendly Calendar System
-
Does anyone have a recommendation for a calendar system that is SEO friendly? I have been using Helios Calendar but the current version lacks proper SEO bones (canonical URLs, mini calendar generates links to empty events from 1950 to 2020, 302 re-directs, and it is generating thousands of crawl errors in Google Webmaster Tools.
The developer has plans to implement some fixes, and I would rather not rip apart what is currently there to fix core issues.
I have found that calendars in general are a nightmare. If anyone has any suggestions, or has experience in tidying up Helios I would be interested.
Thanks,
Dan

I'm really impressed with the Tribe Calendar- I've been using it almost a year for a community run arts initiative Mass Culture and its working out really well. Not only does it look great but in terms of SEO it has he most complete functionality I've yet found. Also the new Geolocation information really assists in local search too.

Just an update, I see that Helios calendar actually fixed most of these issues with their current release. We switched to Tri.be Events Calendar Pro, it was better but the auto delete of past events and auto redirect in the new Helios calendar is very handy, I think I will be switching back.

Were you able to find anything that worked for you? I see reviews of calendar plugins, but nothing talking about the SEO-friendliness of the calendars. The only thing I see related to that is questions other people ask, wanting to know a good recommendation.

Google Calendar?

We are using WordPress. Joomla had similar problems with their calendar but I believe they were solved.
The calendar is being used as a public events calendar which allows for users to submit events for approval, share events etc. I am not sure that the Coffee Cup will suffice.

They MIGHT do the job. Are you by chance using WP or Joomla? Good calendar systems for those out there.

JavaScript page loader - SEO impact
Hello all,
Technical SEO | | Lvet
I am working on a site that has a bizarre page load system. All pages get loaded trough the same Javascript snippet, for example: Changing the values in the form changes the page that is loaded. The most incredible thing is that, against my expectations, pages do get indexed by Google.
My question is: "Does loading pages dynamically using JavaScript affect the overall SEO performance?" Why are pages getting indexed? Thank you for shedding light on this.
Cheers

Coming soon SEO
Hi, I was wondering what is the best practice to redirect all the links juice by redirecting all the pages of your website to a coming soon page. The coming soon page will point to the domain.com, not to a subfolder. Should I move the entire website to a subfolder and redirect this folder to the coming soon page? Thanks

Videos for SEO & Profits
Hello, I'm in the middle of developing a website that will be a tutorial site for SEO, http://universityofseo.com. My plan is to do video tutorials & blog posts to help entry-level SEOs and SMB Owners to help them become familiarized with SEO through quick and easy to watch videos. I eventually want to turn this into a revenue stream through advertisements. I want to know for both SEO and profit reasons, if I should host the videos on youtube and then embed them on my site, or do something like Bits on the Run / Whistia and put ads in the videos that way? I'm not overly obsessed with monetizing the site, but it would be nice to do it, but first and foremost i'm concerned with optimizing the site, having great and actionable content, then monetizing it. I'd appreciate any help on this matter, Zach

How to start more deep seo.
Okay, lets say that I already fixed all my technical seo stuff. All my crawl errors and warnings are gone. Now I really want to start seo so I have a few questions. 1. I know I should work based on a page and not on a domain, so it means I should choose which keyword to optimize each page for? only one keyword per page? or it might be more? 2. Some keywords are very competitive for me, example for my site www.theprinterdepo.com, the best keyword to rank would be printers, but it would take years a beginner to do that, what should I do? 3. If highly competitive keywords are not an option, which keywords shuold I use? the ones that have more global monthly searches? Thanks

Should WordPress themes be hard coded for better SEO?
In the interests of making my site faster I have recently come across the suggestion of removing unwanted PHP from my WooThemes WordPress theme. The suggestion is to hard code the choices I have made in the WordPress template to reduce on database calls. Has anyone actually done this to their WordPress theme before and seen any measurable results?
