It seems that many of her site visitors were going to "reports" rather than "Reports" and she was losing visitors to the famous "404 Error Page." Remember, capitalization does count in file names.
Because Gaida was an active subscriber long before I wrote the tip, "6 Ways To Re-Direct Your Web Page To Another Page" and she forgot and because you may have either forgotten or not been reading the newsletter in June, 2005 this tip is 1 of those inside the members' area.
When you read the archived tip you'll see that the 6th method includes the links to 2 free tools you can use to create the re-direction code for you.
Oh, you want a fresh piece of advice and not be sent off to read an archived tip?
Then how about this?
2 Good Reasons To Use Redirect Links
- To hide your affiliate links in email advertising.
It's a well know fact that many people will not click an affiliate link that looks like an affiliate link and some of those who do will chop off your affiliate information just to keep you from getting paid. Some will even replace your affiliate info with their own. - To send site visitors who misspell your page address to the right place on your site.
If you have a page that has something unusual in it's spelling like
* capital letters, hyphens, numbers or abbreviated words,
* a file name with possible different spellings for the same word or
* a name with some common misspellingsthen create some redirect links.
Remember, you don't want to lose visitors to a "404 Error Page" because every visitor you lose means you've lost another potential customer or subscriber and a simple redirect link may be all it takes.
To Your Success,
