Hi again,
Not sure we’re on the same page G.
What I was wanting to know about is why the SEs allow the redirects?
I did do a little research and my understanding is it is for when a site has an updated page the traffic to the old page can be redirected to the new content.
But to me, that seems a pretty lame reason for allowing something that in my mind, from strictly a user’s pov, is the worst thing happening to SEs.
In fact, to give you an idea of how tainted the process is- would be the fact that despite having had enough experience with redirects (as a surfer) to find them an unwanted pain in the ass … yet apparently I’ve yet to come upon a redirect that was ever useful (at least if you disallow the times I get the message: “click here if the page doesn’t redirect in 5 seconds”.
With all that in mind, … I just don’t get why SEs allow them.
or am I wrong in my assumption on the use of redirects?
