Why spend time on redirects


I completed the code needed to redirect all my pages to other page (BLB, Yelp, the business’s web site). This took me quite a while, and many people have asked why I put that much time into it. Well, if I just removed the pages, many links would go dead. For example: www.richardschwartz.info/Eccentrics_buy.html has many links for Berkeley bookstores, and I found at least three were pages on ShopInBerkeley. So, if the author of this site does not get around to changing the links, they are still valid links since I’ve created all those redirects.

I just hate seeing “404″ error codes.
