There are two meaningful types of redirects, frequently referred to by numbers: 301 or 302. These numbers refer to the HTTP status codes which the server returns to your browser when the page is requested. 301 is the permanent redirect, telling the browser (or spider) that the page has been moved for good, and will not return. This tells a search engine to use the redirected URL in the future, and to not spider the old URL.
