what url do search engines pickup - href tag or destination?
Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2009 10:28 am
For the purposes of seo, do search engines pick up the url in the 'href' parameter of the 'a' tag as below?
Or do search engines pick up the url of the destination page address bar?
Example:
The BBC website news first news bulletin has the following 'href':
1. http://bbc.co.uk/go/homepage/d/int/news ... 883409.stm
This url is redirected to:
2. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7883409.stm
Do search engines pickup 1 or 2?
any ideas?
thanks
