When I put the full flickr address in the "or redirect to url" it seems to remove the domain and keep only the /photos/percipientstudios/sets/72157626450674491 portion, which then becomes its own broken link.
I only have a few links to go to external domains, so will do it in the web.config with IIS's url rewriter rather than install another package into the site.
@Richard - may I recommend this as a future feature? If there's an http:// or https:// (or even ftp:// ?) at the start of the redirect url then it would be an external/remote redirect.
Redirect to remote external urls
(using SEOchecker V1.8.1)
I have some old inbound links that are now fulfilled by other websites. How can I redirect to the fully qualified domain?
For example, I have a broken inbound link of
/cgi-bin/thumbs.asp?d=/Photography/umbraco%20usa
that should redirect tohttps://www.flickr.com/photos/percipientstudios/sets/72157626450674491

Is this possible with SEOchecker?
Thanks!

Hi Doug,
Redirecting to a different domain is currently not possible with SEO checker. You can use url rewriting in web.config maybe?
Best,
Richard
Hi Doug,
Or maybe use the 301 Url tracker package for this.

Hope this helps,

For the benefit of anyone else, here's how I resolved this issue with IIS's url rewrite capability in the site's web.config file:
Thanks for sharing Doug,
It is on the todo list to add this functionality in a next release.
Cheers,
Richard
@Richard did you ever get round to implementing redirects to external URLs - can't see this functionality in the latest version ?
Hi Bradley,
This is still on the list and will be added in V2 to be released next couple of months.
Cheers,
Richard
Hi Richard,
Was this functionality ever added?
Kind regards,
Michael
Yes since V2 https://soetemansoftware.nl/seo-checker/release-notes
Hey Richard
Should I do anything to get external url redirect to work ? When I go to the "old" url, then i'm just getting an 404 error?
Hi Thomas,
Is the redirect module running at all?
Best,
Richard
Yes. Internal are redirect works.
External are not working.
Strange, works over here. Is the Url also logged in the inbound link issues overview? Then delete it over there please.
I deleted it under the inbound link issues. Now It works :)
It there a max of characters for redirect url ?

I won't save this. No error or anything ?
Database columns says 255 chars. You should see a red errormessage?
I found out :) But no error message ?
That is weird indeed.
Thanks Richard!
