Along with the recently released BikeSignUp, TriSignUp and SkiSignUp, we now offer PaddleSignUp.com and AdventureSignUp.com branding for paddle sport and adventure customers who want their signup to be specific to their type of event. Like with BikeSignUp, all races are listed on each iteration of the site (BikeSignUp, RunSignUp, TriSignUp, AdventureSignUp, PaddleSignUp and SkiSignUp), and race directors can access all of their races from any dashboard. However, events that share the PaddleSignup.com or AdventureSignUp.com version of their URL will display the particular logo in the header image. For example, a Paddleboard race would direct participants to PaddleSignUp.com/TheBigPaddle.com.
The standard RunSignUp logo is replaced with the PaddleSignUp logo for each race using the root URL:
Looking at a race on both sites, the headers and HTML seems to be identical minus the logos with no use of rel=canonical/etc. How do you avoid duplicate content/SEO penalties for events with Google? You now have multiple URLs with virtually identical content which search engines doesn’t like.
Thanks for the info, Brian! We have added canonical tags to all of the URLs so we can maintain high SEO for all sites.
