I am currently sorting out a problem that I have created for myself in regards to making changes to a bunch of URLs names. Google did a really deep crawl on my site this week. I should be delighted. Well there were some problems that I did not no about and 404 errors were being thrown left and right. Well I have fixed those errors by making some adjustments to my "friendly URLs" as I have a bunch of dynamically created pages.
My question is this. google has indexed e.g. a url of www.mysite.com/gallery/page/value1/value2
I know how to create a redirect so that it will go to www.mysite.com/gallery/page.php/value1/value2
Do I make this redirect a temporary one or a permanent one? I thought I have read some where where google really frowns on redirects and treats it like cloaking.
What are your thoughts before I make another potentially bad mistake
?Thanks
Dan
