Changed Your Blog Posts Permalinks? Try Permalink Finder Plugin

Byadmin

Sometimes it happens that you change the permalinks of your blog posts and in this case, you will be looser because the blog posts that you have changed the permalinks of have already been indexed by the search engines. So, whenever you change the permalinks, the visitors will be redirected to the 404 not found page when they are referred by the search engines. And you also know that the search engines take time to update the posts that they have already indexed. So, it harms you a lot because you lose those visitors. So, what’s the solution? Let me share the solution when you changed the permalinks of your blog posts.

Permalink Finder

Permalink Finder is an awesome WordPress plugin that could save you from the loss when you change the permalinks of your blog posts. In the period when I changed my blog post permalinks, I was upset when I realized the blog posts I’ve made before and changed the permalinks have already been indexed by the search engines and I’m losing those visitors. So, after a long research, I found the plugin named Permalink Finder, which is now saving me from the great visitor loss. So, if you have changed your blog posts permalink can try the permalink finder plugin and get rid of this great problem.

How Permalink Finder Plugin work?

Permalink finder plugin works very intelligently when you make any change in the permalinks, then generally the change may be a word change, some word missing and so on. So, the permalink finder plugin works in such a way that it lets you choose how you want to get the posts to redirect to the changed one. You can choose and select the settings from the plugin options. As I’m using this plugin in my blog.

Features of Permalink Finder

  • It lets you indicate how many words in the bad URL must match a real permalink.
  • For instance,  if the mistaken link is a-list-of-games, this will find a post called list-of-games or games-list.
  • Matching any single word might redirect to a totally unrelated post, but if you ask for 4 matches, you will never be able to fix links with only three words.
  • Useful for people who have imported a Blogger.com FTP site into WordPress.
  • If you have incoming links to index.html, index, html, or index.shtml, then checking this will redirect any of these to your blog’s main page and not show a 404 page not found. Useful for websites that previously had an index page.
  • Blogger.com uses the URL/labels/ folder instead of categories. If you have imported your site from Blogger.com, you can check off this option to automatically redirect links from /labels/string to /category/string.
  • It let you choose if you want to use common words such as “the”, “fix”, “why”, “could”, “not”, can screw up the accuracy of the search for the right slug.
  • It lets you choose if you want to use words that are one or two letters long can interfere with accuracy. By checking the option in the permalink finder plugin, the search for a permalink will not use words like “a”, “an”,”to”,”I”,”it”, increasing accuracy.
  • It lets you choose if you want to use numbers in the permalink and the numbers can confuse the search for a permalink. The number 11 will find 911 and 2011, not just 11. Check this if your accuracy is being hurt by numbers.
