How to prevent duplicate content at a calendar page
Ah... yeah, that's tricky. There's no magic solution, I'm afraid. You've really got three options: (1) Leave it alone (2) Re-organize your site architecture to push individual date pages down a level or two, so that they get less internal link-juice. (3) Re-organize such that you focus search engines on chunks of time or maybe date/aspect combinations, but then de-index the individual date combos. This would take a much better understanding of your site structure than I currently have. The goal would be to focus your index on some smaller combination of pages that still covers 80% of your search traffic. The big problem is just that this is a lot potential dilution, and I suspect that many of these pages look very similar to Google. I'm also certain that not all pages have the same value, either for SEO or users, so there's some hybrid approach where you could prune back but not lose everything. Long-term, I think that's worth the time and trouble to sort out, but it's not an emergency or something I'd rush into.

Mobile website settings - I am doing right?
Hi George, thanks for the link! It looks like google has changed the mobile rules. I've added a new meta tag: http://www.schicksal.com/Astrologie/Astro-Schule/Transite and on the mobile version: And I've removed the robots.txt entries. I cannot use the "vary" - "User-Agent" header because the site needs to be cachable by varnish. Let's see whats happening in the next days. Best wishes, Georg.

Keep or remove a link directory with 700 entries?
Hi Matt + Alan, thanks for your fast answers! Well, the directory only gets 0,33% of all traffic. So I will delete it, that saves the maintenance time + cost. Best wishes, Georg.

Lost 50% google traffic in one day - panic?
dean1986 I totally agree with you.Look at the meta keywords.Are they not part of SEO strategies.Forum posting was used as one of the largest technique of SEO.Than people switch over to blog posting.Than web 2.0 and now guest post/infographics. Surely the ranking game is not easy by any means and google have to take actions all the time but the day I meet MR MATT always coming up with happy face in videos telling the world EMD is there check out are you down,I shall ask him.MR MATT "why you guys hate spam and index it"? Who develop natural domain as ranking signal and who said this game is over?
