When to use aliases
When you first save a draft, the page title is used for the alias (with short words like ‘the’ and ‘and’ removed).
If you change a page's title, you should edit the alias to match.
Never add an alias as you will split the analytics.
When you change a page's title, you should manually edit the alias to match it, for good SEO.
When we do this, all internal links (ie links on CMS pages; not external sites) to the node/page won’t get broken, because they link to the page's underlying node number.
Only edit an alias – don't delete it. If a page's main alias is deleted, it will display the node number in the URL on the live site and external links to the page will be broken.
To get to the screen where you can edit aliases:
You can click on the Manage URL aliases link on the right side of the page's edit screen.
You can also get to the aliases screen by rolling over Configuration, then on the dropdown menu roll over Search and metadata, then click on Aliases.
