Schema markup for Webinars
-
I'm looking for a solution to implement schema markup for our webinars. We have an events page that has a list of upcoming events, as well as a list of the webinars we've done with a link to YouTube to watch the webinar. The webinars on our events page have the title and date. What kind of schema markup can we implement for these past events? It is not really an event, but it's not a video either (unless we embed the video on our site). Any tips? (**Also, I would like to use JSON-LD instead of HTML to implement the schema). Thanks!

The event does not have all required information in the eyes of Google. Will that harm the site?
If a lot is missing YES you need dates.

Thank you! This helps a lot.
Follow-up question... The event does not have all required information in the eyes of Google. Will that harm the site? Or is it ok if we don't have every parameter... See screenshot for example of the info that I can markup: http://screencast.com/t/KPkUvHvmZaf

Utilizing past events will be will be able to instruct Google that you are having a consistent event cycle whatever length of time that is. So I do recommend doing it. JSON-LD has been, recommended for events.
In the past, Google has suggested Microdata. For websites and JSON-LD for apps however since their overhaul the new schema testing system, it seems like they have gone 100% JSON-LD in their recent "recommendations" for events.
("Try out the following examples using the Structured Data Testing Tool. All examples show JSON-LD syntax. If you prefer, you can use Microdata or RDFa syntax.")
JSON-LD His extremely lightweight but is invisible to the end-user. Microdata Is visible to the end-user.I would base it on what makes sense for your website. I do not know if you are utilizing app?If you are currently using microdata, it is still supported. If you are looking to use schema for the first time, I would recommend JSON-LD for apps and Microdata for end-users.

https://blog.kissmetrics.com/get-started-using-schema/ I would use Google's schema generator for JSON-LD or one of these options for microdata

Below are two examples of the different styles and keep in mind microdata is visible
Microdata. event example I created.

The W3C Markup Validation Service - Good, Bad or Impartial?
Hi guys, it seems that now days it is almost impossible to achieve 0 (Zero) Errors when testing a site via (The W3C Markup Validation Service - https://validator.w3.org). With analytic codes, pixels and all kind of tracking and social media scripts gunning it seems to be an unachievable task. My questions to you fellow SEO'rs out there are 2: 1. How important and to what degree of effort do you go when you technically review a site and make the decision as to what needs to be fixed and what you shouldn't bother with. 2. How do you argue your corner when explaining to your clients that its impossible to active 100% validation. *As a note i will say that i mostly refer to Wordpress driven sites. would love ot hear your take. Daniel.

Mobile header and Schema Tags
We have recently made a website I work on responsive. This involved taking their original desktop site and then making it work on mobiles/tablets. Due to the nature of their existing header we are serving a different version to mobiles/tablets. Do the schema tags which are on the desktop header need to be added to the mobile version or are they just needed on the desktop code?

Is adding reviews to your site using schema structured data markup considered duplicating content?
A client of mine whats to add reviews from other sites such as Judys Book and Yahoo to their site. (Yes the actual content of what was posted in the review. They are proud of what their clients are saying). I am not sure if using schema mark up and including the review body on the clients web site was safe or would it be considered duplicate content? Is there a "good practice" for this? Any assistance or suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!

Schema.org for restaurant menus
Hi i have looking into ways that i can apply shema.org formatting to a website that has a collection of restaurant menus. I found related schema.org formats (eg recipes, reviews, products etc) though can not seem to find a format set out for menu items. I am considering using the product format (http://schema.org/Product) for each menu item on a restaurant menu though not sure if this would add much value or not. I was hoping Google when then know more about the data collected on the website and be able to show it more accurately to the end user when they are searching for this data (restaurant menu), with rich snippets in serp results. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
