How to Fix Surfing Redirects
When a user surfs to your website, you may choose to send him elsewhere. This is called a "redirect" and is a standard tool to direct traffic. For instance, if you surf to the misspelled domain "gogle.com," you will be redirected to Google. If you have a bad surfing redirect on your website, though, you may be driving traffic away from the page you want users to view. Fixing a surfing redirect is simple, however, since it is controlled by only one line in your website code.
