Redirects to Create Short, Friendly URLs
Summary
Web Managers can create a friendlier, shorter URL, which can be used in press releases and newsletters. Do not make the mistake of leaving the page out of the menu structure to achieve a short URL. Instead, put the page appropriately in the menu and also create a short, meaningful redirect.
