redirects #86

Some of the urls from the old website are still in google and giving some dodge results, try searching:

lnug sponsors

We need to add some permanent redirects to maintain that google juice.

simonmcmanus commented 8 years ago

things like:

http://lnug.org/sponsors

should be redirected to:

http://lnug.org/sponsor.html

That was the trigger for this issue https://github.com/lnug/lnug.github.io/issues/79

Unfortunately, Github pages doesn't allow 301 Redirects, which is the cleanest way to do it :disappointed: . However, we can create a blank html page with an http meta-tag, it might be okay to do so.

@julienbrunuk - yeah I think that would be the only way to do it.

Fortunately though, Google has figured it out already:

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=lnug+sponsor

Bing is still showing the old result but its below the new one. I cant imagine it will keep a page that is 404ing for long.
