H Tags for an Events Page
-
I wanted to get the thoughts of people here about how to best structure an events listing page for SEO. I have a list of events, all with dates, event titles, location name, city and zip. What I do currently is listed below. I also show a version for how I could revise it, but it would require me to duplicate the event date on the page. Any ideas, suggestions or best practice examples you can point me to would be greatly appreciated.
Current Structure
<state>Events - H1 Tag
Friday, December 5, 2014 - H2 Tag
Event Title 1 - H3
Location Name, City, State - P TagsEvent Title 2 - H3
Location Name, City, State - P Tags</state>I was wondering if I would see better results by doing the following instead. The benefits I see of this approach are the event titles are h2 instead of h3 tags and the con I see is duplicating the event dates
<state>Events - H1 Tag</state>
Event Title 1 - H2
Friday, December 5, 2014
Location Name, City, State - P Tags
Event Title 2 - H2
Friday, December 5, 2014
Location Name, City, State - P Tagsthanks, Anthony

Yes, I think Party_Experts is right, that duplicating the date will help the user's experience because they'd be able to see all of the information together. As far as H tags, anything lower than the H1 tag is probably not going to have a lot of influence, so I wouldn't worry about that part too much.

Hi Anthony,
I think either is okay.
But personally for user experience I prefer your second method.
For people skimming your page they are more likely to be enticed by the event title rather than the date.
But I see your point about the duplicating the date, but I wouldn't worry about it too much, I think it will actually help the user experience, as all the information will be within their eye line without having to make them scroll up to see the date again.
I hope this helps with your decision.

Wordpress Tag Organization Tips
Curious if anyone has some good examples of ways to organize your WordPress tags without making your sidebar a football field long and hard to navigate. My blog is https://karmahill.com/blog and I could use some ideas. We have main categories of photo shoot types, for example, "Couples", located on the sidebar. We want to add tags to go with those main categories for further categorization and user experience example: Couples Engagement Proposals Honeymoon Maternity My question is, do I need to make "tag" pages for those posts to reside on or is their another way to get it done with less work, that is much faster? I don't want to have to make 30 tag pages or is that just what you have to do?

Duplicate items across different pages?
On our new website we have a testimonials page which you can cycle through them. We also have the testimonial on the our work / project page. Essentially this is duplicate content from another page, what's the best thing to do here? In the sake of SEO, remove the duplicate content and only have one? Or won't it make much difference?

Duplicate page title caused by Shopify CMS
Hi, We have an ecommerce site set up at devlinsonline.com.au using Shopify and the MOZ crawl is returning a huge number (hundreds!) of Duplicate Page Title errors. The issue seems to be the way that Shopify uses tagging to sort products. So, using the 'Riedel' collection as an example, the urls devlinsonline.com.au/collections/riedel-glasses/ devlinsonline.com.au/collections/riedel-glasses/decanters devlinsonline.com.au/collections/riedel-glasses/vinum all have the exact same page title. We are also having the same issue with the blog and other sections of our site. Is this something that is actually a serious issue or, perhaps, is Google's algorithm intelligent enough to recognise that this is part of Shopify's layout so it will not negatively affect our rankings and can, essentially, be ignored? Thanks.

Changing H1 Tag based on referrer
Hello, I need some quick help and advice. We're going through a website re-design, and we have a few H1 tags set on some of our inner pages. The team is ok with these, however they want to change the H1 tag if the user gets to that page from a page within the site. Example:
Web Design | | uSell
When the referrer is our site (www.domain.com), the H1 tag = Go to Step 2 When the referrer is anything else, the H1 tag = Welcome to our site I'd like to keep the H1 tag as the SEO rich keyword text we agreed on (in this case "Welcome to Our Site"), however our developers don't think its directional enough and wants to change it based on the user path. I'm ok with the suggestion, however I want to make sure that if we choose the option with the referrer that this doesn't impact our SEO efforts. I'm assuming the referrer will changed based on how the bot gets to the page, but i'm not certain and was wondering if anyone had some thoughts on this.. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks...0 -
Bar Codes for Event Sites
A client is requesting bar codes for simple tracking of event attendees. Their need is to be able to verify at the door someone has registered and then have that data link to the registrant to show who did/did not attend, etc. We looked at QR code solutions (seems bar code makes more sense at this point) and now are at a point where we need input from any who have experience with either system and could potentially make a recommendation. A person would sign up for this once a year event (no charge, informational) on the site and be able to print off their registration ticket to bring to the event. If it could also be downloaded to iPhone/Android that would be a plus as well. When they come through the door the code is scanned and registrant is in. Simple. They currently keep a database of past attendees and only use it for general area the attendees are from and how many show over time, etc. Since we do not want to reinvent the wheel, we were hoping a mozzer might have insight. thanks, Robert
