Hi,

I have a website with few hundred pages.
After I made changes to the structure, I created hundereds of 301 redirects manually in an .htaccess file in the root of the server. After that I installed sh404SEF and the redirects are still working fine. Is this OK like this or could it potentially be harmfull for SEO. I mean the combination of 301 redirects in an .htaccess file with 301 reddirects that I make in sh404SEF is that possible?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Elmar

Hi

A 301 redirect is a 301 redirect, however you do it (search engines or real people have no way to know who or what created the redirect).

What you want to avoid is having multiple 301 in "series", that a link is redirected to another page, which also has a 301 to another page, which also has a 301 to another page, etc

One level is fine, two levels is ok, but don't go higher than that.
