You build a great page and provide relevant information but how is anyone going to remember such a long URL?

So you register a domain, www.orange.com, and your hosting company sets up the URL www.orange.com so that it redirects to www.apple.com/alpha/products/?67930.htm. For customers who see a print ad, www.orange.com is easy to remember and will get them to the www.apple.com/alpha/products/?67930.htm page. However, for Search Engine submission the destination URL (www.apple.com/alpha/products/?67930.htm) is the location of the information important for search engine placement. A search engine spider program will not know how to handle the redirection from www.orange.com to www.apple.com/alpha/products/?67930.htm like a customer’s web browser. So, it will just skip www.orange.com and move on to the next site in the list. This is obviously not what you want. Remember, when submitting to search engines, use the destination URL if your site uses redirection. Example: submit www.apple.com/alpha/products/?67930.htm to search engines, not www.orange.com.
