Have you ever visited a webpage that redirected you to a different page you weren’t looking for? Or perhaps, you got the “Sorry, not available” message? Well, you are not alone, my friend. Unwarranted URL errors are more common than you might think. Fortunately, there are SEO best practices you can utilize for URL redirects that will allow you to combat those frustrating errors.<\/p>\n

In this post, I will cover what redirects are, why they’re important, the most common types of redirects, their impact on SEO, and URL best practices to use. It’s essential to understand how and when to use redirects properly as they can improve the user’s experience and help a website rank from an SEO perspective.<\/p>\n

What Is a URL Redirect?<\/h2>\n
A URL redirect is a technique used to forward users from an old, or possibly a no longer existing URL, to another URL that is active and working properly.<\/p>\n
For example, let’s say a jewelry website has an outdated page, “https:\/\/www.jewerly.com\/silverearrings” (URL A), that they don’t want users visiting anymore. They can use a redirect code 301 to permanently redirect URL A to a new page that has updated content “https:\/\/www.jewerly.com\/goldearrings” (URL B). Now, if a user clicks on URL A, they will automatically be redirected to URL B and see the updated content.<\/p>\n
