A calendar, independent of the year, changes very little from one year to the next. It will only change the year and the day of the week in relation to the day of the month, but everything else is the same. Is this considered as duplicate content by Google?
Note: I want Google to index as many years as possible. I even wish it was every year, but it complains if we have a site with many millions of pages so I'll settle for 220 years.
In this case it would not be duplicate content depending on the content type being dates, but what is the purpose of indexing those pages? I did not quite understand the architecture.
Amrit, When the user types "1901 calendar" to "2150 calendar" in Google, for example, the pages of each of those calendars are indexed and in the first positions. If it is not indexed, it will not be found by people through search engines.
Rajesh, this is undoubtedly a useful content and a good idea of optimization; An idea to enrich your content would be to put the dates of the holidays and the most important events. Obviously it will do a lot more work, but it will be a richer content as well and may even serve to get good links.
Thank you Joe, I will enrich the content whenever possible. The holidays are already on the calendar. The problem is that the site is a "spout" and I have a formal job, in addition to other activities so not much time left.
Not because it's the author, but it's the best calendar on the internet, see! I know we need to do a lot of work on SEO.
Nice, but the months on your website seem to have nofollow links. Although I like the comments box to have answers.
Thank you Joe, once again. Nofollow tag was added when I got an email from Google saying that my site was taking too much time for scanning because of having too many pages so I decided to restrict some pages and at that time I did not knew much about SEO than I know today.
Google is right, imagine if it indexes each calendar. The amount of calendars is defined by the largest number that php can calculate, plus the multiple of that for 12 months and then multiply the number of cities registered, Google will spend a lot of time indexing only that site.
They are right at their place, on the other hand I do not want it to index only the current year, so I pushed noindex and nofollow on most of them to lessen the risk of being punished by Google.
I think you could let go of new calendars little by little. First of all the years of the XX century and XXI, then the months of the last decade, etc. It does not seem wrong to have calendars, but just be careful because Google may not understand that this is right.
