I'm updating my site and therefore i have new links. My old url looks like this:\[code\]http://cmstutorials.org/submitted/345\[/code\]and the new one looks like this:\[code\]http://cmstutorials.org/tutorial/view/Quick_Tip_Did_Internet_Explorer_get_the_Box_Model_Right\[/code\]so when a user visits my old url he will be redirected to a landing page which is going to fetch the id from the url and redirect to the correct page using php.My question is; I will be redirecting 2 times (once with htaccess and once with php), will this have a negative effect on google? or will it only be a bad thing if google comes accross a 404 not found. (if the id of a tutorial is not found a simple message will be displayed, it won't really be a 404 not found page)
