Forward URL: Painless relocation of existing WebPages
Most web developers have, at one time of another, experienced complaints from users who have either created bookmarks or come into the website via search engines following a restructure of their website and who now experience that the applicable pages no longer exist. The problem can be solved by creating an automatic forward for incoming queries, so that the user is automatically led to the correct page or, if it no longer exists, to a suitable replacement page. Forwarding is set-up by entering the current path for the existing domain in the first column and the new URL in the other column. The new URL can be local, but it can also be external, that is, located in a completely different location on the Internet. In the first example, we send all users who attempt to read a selected document from the folder "http://www.ditdomain.dk/gammelt" further to the folder "http://www.ditdomain.dk/nyt", while in the second example, we send all of those who attempt to read "http://www.ditdomain.dk/sjov/vitser.html" further to "http://www.justkidding.dk".
NOTE! Most search engines DO NOT like by being sent directly to another URL, so it is advised that you do not use forwarding unless it is absolutely necessary.
