What? GlobalRedirect is a simple module which… Checks the current URL for an alias and does a 301 redirect to it if it is not being used.

I install this module by default on every Drupal installation I create.
The 6.x branch has a sort-of-major bug that causes redirect loops when used with other modules related to URL aliases, but a patch to fix it is available in the issue queue.
This module works exactly how it's supposed to. I noticed in a Google search of my site that the site.com/node/1234 links were the ones showing, so I installed this module and now that problem is fixed!
The Global Redirect module helps you eliminate duplicate URLs and also makes it much easier to migrate a website to Drupal and 301 redirect all the pages without losing all your link juice and PageRank.
We also use the module to make our Affiliate links look nice and pretty (eg mysite.com/servicename rather than theirsite.com/index.php?affiliate=123).
I just installed it on my server and it works. No modifications necessary. Using it to eliminate duplicate pages such as the frontpage with views
This module provides a simple way to automatically redirect links such as 'node/123' to their proper aliases. Most of the other features can be taken care of with proper .htaccess rules, but the node-to-alias forwarding is hard to beat.
Unfortunately, as of this writing, this module can cause infinite loops when using i18n. If you're running a non-english site, be sure to check the issue queue, it looks like this problem may be solved soon.
