Simply Fix AMP Error dateModified:missing and recommended
Have you got dateModified error in your Blogger template? Then simply fix this error within few seconds. dateModified error evolve from Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) Articles. This is recommended by search engine to fix this error. Let’s see how we can fix it?
Recently Google is has introduced Accelerated Mobile Pages
(AMP), the main purpose of this AMP to sending faster and neat and clean
website to Mobile traffic. So if your site is faster to load then there is a
greater chance to get huge traffic from Mobile device user. Now traffic sources
increases due to invention of various smart devices. So any how we should make your Blogger template
mobile friendly. But by using only mobile
friendly site you won’t able to improve your site for AMP friendly.
Nevertheless there is a pre requisition to make your site
AMP friendly. Almost all major search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex
has set a standard machine readable language which is known as schema.org
markup. And for proper optimizing a site according to schema.org markup we have
to code our templates that match structured data.
I know you are feeling dizzy… lots of critical things I have
brought. But don’t worry I am making it easy. The dateModified error shows
while we test our template on structured data testing tool. You can check it by
visiting below link-
- https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/
If you find that dateModified:missing and recommended error
on structured data testing result then you should fix this issue. I am showing
you how?
Before solving this issue you have to fix datePublished:
missing and required Error from your Blogger template. I have already published
article with solution to fix this issue. Please visit below link and fix it
first.
I assume that you have fix the date published error and now
proceed to the next level.
Step
1 Go
to https://www.blogger.com and Sign in to your account
Step
2 From Blogger
Dashboard click on ->Template ->Edit HTML
Step 3 And
locate script like below which you have already added while fixing the datePublished: missing and required Error from your Blogger template
<span class='post-timestamp'>
<span class='post-timestamp'>
<b:if cond='data:top.showTimestamp'>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<a class='timestamp-link' expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published updated' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601' itemprop='datePublished'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</span>
</span>
Step 4 Now locate itemprop='datePublished' from above script and replace it by itemprop='datePublished dateModified'
Step
5 The
final step output of the script will be like below
<span class='post-timestamp'>
<span class='post-timestamp'>
<b:if cond='data:top.showTimestamp'>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<a class='timestamp-link' expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published updated' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601' itemprop='datePublished dateModified '><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</span>
</span>
Step 6 Now simply hit the Save template button.
You might think what I
have added in above script? This is very simple search engine robot can
understand the schema.org markup. And while I fix the error about date
published then I have given the search robot additional information by itemprop='datePublished’ and in secondly
I have added another itemprop=' dateModified’
to tell search robot about the Post modification date. Though we are allowed to
combine the code as a result I have combined the both code by itemprop='datePublished dateModified ‘. Now
you can check your Blogger template in Google structured data testing tools and
see error has fixed.
The main purpose to fix this error, after publishing a
Blog post sometimes we need to modify the post and update it. As a result
search robot wants to know when you have updated the post. I mean post update
date. And after fixing this error search robot will easily understand about
post modification date. If you have any query regarding this, don’t hesitate to
write. Thank you.
