How careful are you implementing redirects when you change page urls?
Over time most sites evolve, and the urls used on existing pages can change as well. When the urls for existing pages in a site change, it is good practice to put redirects in place so that a link to the outdated url redirects to the new url. This week, we ask about the extent to which you implement redirects when you change the location of pages on your sites. Besides voting in the poll, be sure to share your thoughts on the topic, and whether you implement 301 redirects, and if you do, the extent to which you do it by hand or through automation of some sort.
