: Is it ok to use 301's this way? I installed a forum, which has a page for member info. I want this to link to my main sites member info page which is a lot more detailed and interactive.

I installed a forum, which has a page for member info. I want this to link to my main sites member info page which is a lot more detailed and interactive.

The forum membership page has the url:

member_profile.asp?PF=15434

If I put a 301 redirect on that page to go my nice member page:

Users/Tom

Would search engines not index member_profile.asp?PF=15434 (as in I don't want that ugly URL appearing anywhere in results)
Is it OK to use 301's this way?

I would say that is fine to do if you cannot rewrite the forum code to display the more friendly URL to begin with. The 301 redirect will prevent the member_profile.asp?PF=15434 page from being indexed at all so only the "nice" member page will show in the search results.
