I am really happy with my calendar but I have recently stopped getting google traffic and my home page no longer comes up when I search for my site or other key phrases. I can only assume google has penalized me but I haven’t received a message in Webmaster tools. The only thing I can think of that I may be doing wrong is that I have a lot of duplicate content in my community events and community classes calendar as the community uploads content (often the even descriptions are copy paste from other places) and the descriptions for the classes are the same for each class in a series. I was hoping someone could tell me if this could be the case and if so, if there was any way to deal with it. I would really appreciate any insight.
