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."

As this schema is generated by Yoast plugin, I haven't applied any custom steps. Recently I published a post https://dailycontributors.com/kisscartoon-alternatives-and-complete-review/ and I tested it at two platforms of schema test 1, Validator.Schema.org
2. Search.google.com/test/rich-results So the validator generate results as follows and shows no error
Schema without error.PNG It shows no error But where as Schema with error.PNG in search central results it gives me a warning "Missing field "url" (optional)". So is this really be going to issue for my ranking ? Please help thanks!6 -
Sudden Indexation of "Index of /wp-content/uploads/"
Hi all, I have suddenly noticed a massive jump in indexed pages. After performing a "site:" search, it was revealed that the sudden jump was due to the indexation of many pages beginning with the serp title "Index of /wp-content/uploads/" for many uploaded pieces of content & plugins. This has appeared approximately one month after switching to https. I have also noticed a decline in Bing rankings. Does anyone know what is causing/how to fix this? To be clear, these pages are **not **normal /wp-content/uploads/ but rather "index of" pages, being included in Google. Thank you.

I have multiple URLs that redirect to the same website. Is this an issue?
I have multiple URLs that all lead to the same website. Years ago they were purchased and were sitting dormant. Currently they are 301 redirects and each of the URLs feed to different areas of my website. Should I be worried about losing authority? And if so, is there a better way to do this?

Correct linking to the /index of a site and subfolders: what's the best practice? link to: domain.com/ or domain.com/index.html ?
Dear all, starting with my .htaccess file: RewriteEngine On
Technical SEO | | inlinear
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.inlinear.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://inlinear.com/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^./index.html
RewriteRule ^(.)index.html$ http://inlinear.com/ [R=301,L] 1. I redirect all URL-requests with www. to the non www-version...
2. all requests with "index.html" will be redirected to "domain.com/" My questions are: A) When linking from a page to my frontpage (home) the best practice is?: "http://domain.com/" the best and NOT: "http://domain.com/index.php" B) When linking to the index of a subfolder "http://domain.com/products/index.php" I should link also to: "http://domain.com/products/" and not put also the index.php..., right? C) When I define the canonical ULR, should I also define it just: "http://domain.com/products/" or in this case I should link to the definite file: "http://domain.com/products**/index.php**" Is A) B) the best practice? and C) ? Thanks for all replies! 🙂

Adding Rel Canonical to multiple pages
Hi, Our CMS generates a lot of duplicate content, (Different versions of every page for 3 different font sizes). There are many other reasons why we should drop this current CMS and go with something else, and we are in the process of doing that. But for now, does anyone know how would I do the following: I've created a spreadsheet that contains the following: Column 1: rel="canonical" tag for URL Column 2: Duplicate Content URL # 1 Column 3: Duplicate Content URL # 2 Column 4: Duplicate Content URL # 3 I want to add the tag from column 1 into the head of every page from column 2,3, and 4. What would be a fast way to do this considering that I have around 1800 rows. Check the screenshot of the builtwith.com result to see more information about the website if that helps. Farris bxySL
