What is the best way to deal with an event calendar
- 
					
					
					
					
 I have an event calendar that has multiple repeating items into the future. They are classes that typically all have the same titles but will occasionally have different information. I don't know what is the best way to deal with them and am open to suggestions. Currently Moz anayltics is showing multiple errors (duplicate page titles, descriptions and overly dynamic urls). I'm assuming that it's showing duplicate elements way into the future. I thought of having the calendar no followed at all but the content for the classes seems valuable. Thanks,

 A great completely and this is a good example of the type of difference changing the robots.txt file could make I would read all the information you can on it as it seems to be constantly updating. I used this info below as an example of a happy ending but to see the problems I would read all the stories you will see if you check out this link. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/page/2 CPU usage from over 90% to less than 15%. Memory usage dropped by almost half, from 1.95 GB to 1.1 GB including cache/buffers. My setup is as follows: Linode 2GB VPS 
 Nginx 1.41
 Percona SQL Server using XtraDB
 PHP-FPM 5.4 with APC caching db requests and opcode via W3 Total Cache
 Wordpress 3.52
 All in One Event Calendar 1.11All the Best, Thomas

 I got the robots.txt file I hope this will help you. This is built into every GetFlywheel.com website they are a managed WordPress only hosting company website the reason they did this was the same reason Dan as described above. I'm not saying this is a perfect fix however after speaking with the founder of GetFlywheel I know they place this in the robots.txt file for every website that they host in order to try get rid of the crawling issue. This is an exact copy of any default robots.txt file from getflywheel.com Default Flywheel robots fileUser-agent: * 
 Disallow: /wp-admin/
 Disallow: /wp-includes/Disallow: /calendar/action:posterboard/ 
 Disallow: /calendar/action:agenda/
 Disallow: /calendar/action:oneday/
 Disallow: /calendar/action:month/
 Disallow: /calendar/action:week/
 Disallow: /calendar/action:map/As found on a brand-new website. If you Google "Max CPU All in one calendar" you will see more about this issue. I hope this is of help to you, Thomas PS here is what The maker of the all in one event calendar has listed on their site as a fix

 Hi Landon I had a client with a similar situation. Here's what I feel is the best goal; Calendar pages (weeks/months/days etc) - don't crawl, don't index Specific event pages - crawl and index Most likely the calendar URLs have not been indexed, but you can check with some site: searches. Assuming the have not been indexed, the best solution was to block crawling to certain URLs with robots.txt - calendars can go off into infinity, and you don't want to send the crawlers off into a black hole as it's not good for crawl budget, or for directing them to your actual content.

 is this the all-in-one event calendar for WordPress? If so I can give you the information or you can just Google CPU Max WordPress essentially you have to change the robots.txt file so the crawlers don't have huge issues as they do now with it. Get flywheel has that built into their robots.txt file if that is your issue I can go in and grab it for you. Sincerely, Thomas

 Besides this, take a look at the schema markup for Events it might help you mark up the page better so Google will understand what the page/ event is about: http://schema.org/Event

 Are the same classes in the future link to the same page? are you using canonical tags correctly? Your URL should help diagnose the problem and guide you better,

		Topic Cluster: URL Best Practices
 I'm trying to be mature and employ the Topic Cluster strategy to my content. In doing so I realized there are a few URL options. Some more difficult to execute than others. -Is it important to call out the Pillar Topic in your subtopic URL? Technical SEO | | dkellyagile
 -Does the Pillar Topic need to have its own landing page? (As opposed to just being part of the blog.) Here's an Example: My Pillar is: Inbound vs. Outbound
 My subtopic is: Marketing Platforms Here are the URL options I can think of... Option 1: https://pipelineinbound.com/blog/inbound-vs-outbound-marketing-platforms/ Option 2: https://pipelineinbound.com/blog/which-marketing-platforms/ Option 3: https://pipelineinbound.com/blog/marketing-platforms-inbound-vs-outbound/ Option 4 (Hardest): https://pipelineinbound.com/inbound-vs-outbound/marketing-platforms/ Are there some fundamental best practices for URL structure and Link Building as it pertains to Topic Clusters?

		Is there a way of changing the Permalink without getting the 404 Error?
 Hi, I am new to this all.. Is there a way of changing the permalink for example from: domain/content/ to domain/profile/ without receiving the 404 error message. It's just that since my website has been developed, some pages and their content have changed but the permalink still shows the name of the old page which may be confusing. Ps.

		What is the best URL designed for a product page?
 Should a product page URL include the category name and subcategory name in it? Most ecommerce platforms it seems are designed to do have the category and sub-category names included in the URL followed by the product name. If that is the case and the same product is listed in more then 1 category and sub-category then will that product have 2 unique urls and as a result be treated as 2 different product pages by google? And then since it is the same product in two places on the site won't google treat those 2 pages as having duplicate content? SO is it best to not have the category and sub-category names in the URL of a product page? And lastly, is there a preferred character limit for a URL to be less than in size? Thanks!
