Microdata markup for products and also Json-ld

Hey guys I have a two questions today and no Edwin Jonk I don`t know the answers to these so please don`t delete this post.
1. Should I index date and category archives without a news site or just choose category? 2. Can you have microdata markup for products and also Json-ld (
For instance I have microdata for a product that has item price and discount price marked up but the json ld which is separate on the same page has review and description marked up) would this cause any problems? I can`t remove the micro data but I also can`t include the review markup with microdata.

  • Tony McCreath: 2 you may find that you will only get price or review rich snippets, not both.
  • Doc Sheldon: Chase, I think Casey and Tony nailed it. Yes, you can do both, with no problem, but you won`t get the benefit of both.
  • Neil Cheesman: do you mean `with` or `within` a news site?
  • Casey Markee: Personally, I`d do the following: 1 - noindex all archives. I very seldom find them generating ANY traffic when doing audits. Also, view the "Top Pages" report in Google Search Console - are those pages generating traffic? If not, NOINDEX them. 2 - Yes, you can have multiple markup languages on the same page. I run into this all the time in the Recipe Niche. We want to markup in JSON but Pinterest still doesn`t support it so we have to also provided back-up functionality in Microformats. Here`s a direct quote from Google that this is just fine: http://www.thesempost.com/marking-content-json-ld-microdata-not-risk-google/ Hope that`s helpful.

  • Webado C Webada: I always noindex archives of all kinds. At least for Wordpress, because it`s possible. Other platforms, it would be desirable but might not be possible.
  • Webado C Webada: The expert on structured data markup is Grace Massa-Langlois in the Webmaster Central. The only thing I`ve ever used was basic event markup and that`s on a static site that`s been on indefinite hiatus for years, so those events have dropped into the the distant past. Otherwise I have no use for structured markup on any site I have.
  • Cristian Sepulveda: You can mix both micro data and JSON-LD
