Yes, prior to GD my directory site had nearly 100,000 pages for LT and LSI – all with SE/human-friendly URL’s. Much of this was lost during the transition to GD and some of it had to be recreated. It was easier to recreate the function dynamically when the pages didn’t exist than recreate all the pages.
April 26, 2019 at 6:35 pm in reply to: Permalinks w/ v2.0 – tag out of order – am I doing it wrong? #483112My custom 404 works in conjunction with some shortcodes for display purposes and does stuff like this:
Go to this URL which was previously broken due to the tag thing:
https://www.rinktime.com/rinks/tags/birthday-parties-and-events/united-states/tags/florida/largo/It breaks down the URL, looks for country/region/city and then uses Google’s API to pull the lat/lon and then redirects to this which will show not only the facilities in the city – but also the surrounding cities:
https://www.rinktime.com/rinksearch/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=birthday+parties+and+events&snear=florida+largo+united-states&sgeo_lat=27.9094665&sgeo_lon=-82.7873244Question @kiran,
I have my own 404 process that does a number of proprietary things.
Is there any way to call your 404 rescue from a function at the end of my routine?
Yes, I noticed that. And I understand why so that you can walk back with the way core searches.
However what’s odd is that these both work the same way and provide the same results:
https://www.rinktime.com/rinks/united-states/ohio/kent/
https://www.rinktime.com/rinks/united-states/ohio/kent-1/
I have static pages and external links driving traffic to pages, some which are very old and crusty and have/had SEO value, and being that both work we could be flagged for duplicate content.
But these don’t pair and end at a 404:
Original:
https://www.rinktime.com/rinks/united-states/ohio/kent/ice-skating-rink/kent-state-university-ice-arena/And this breaks all the old existing links. ;(

Yelp uses service areas by Neighborhood, Zip, City or County (Up to 6). They then use those neighborhoods as boundaries to paint the areas in between. They do make an assumption that you would cover all areas inside the furthest extremes of the bounds.
Hi Kiran, In v1.x however, these same locations existed but did not use the -x for the location slugs. What changed?
There are detrimental impacts to this from an SEO perspective. Certainly, there are redirects, but even with redirects, there are costs.

If a geo-range is populated, it could query and compile a list of zip/postal codes and add them to an array field.
That field could then be integrated into the searches where applicable.
You could also use a map drawing tool like this to achieve the same results:
