How aliases work
When you first save create a page and save it as a draft, the page title is used for the alias alias is automatically created (with short words like ‘the’ ‘the' and ‘and’ ‘a’ removed).
If you change a page 's title, you should edit the alias to match. It’s good for search engine optimisation.
What to avoid with aliases
Never add an additional alias to a page, as you it 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 the main alias for 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.
