Redirecting Visitors - An Update

[Webdiva] For example Redirect /contact.html http://www.webdiva.co.uk/about-me/contact-me meant that anywhere on my site a visitor tried to access /contact.html they would be redirected to http://www.webdiva.co.uk/about-me/contact-me even if they were trying to use for example /blog/contact.html.

[ SEO Black Hat] While the term is overused, it seems (to me) important to understand the evolution of thought and business practice on the Internet.
