I found a redirected link on my website covering a news about edge sorting cheaters. Webmasters would redirect a page to their home page when they deem any page unnecessary. As it is, a redirected link is a s good as a broken link because the article that you referred to no longer existed.
When +SavySeph highlighted the problem of a redirected link on her blog, I expected to run into similar problems too. After going through each link on my website, I managed to discover the page mentioned above with the problem. Like SavySeph, I was fortunate to find an alternate article. I will continue my check and blog further cases if any.
