301 Redirect
301 redirect refers to a code sent by a website’s hosting server to a browser. In practice, it means you’ll get redirected to a new page when you input the old URL.
For website administrators, 301 redirects shouldn’t be used in excess, but can be a good way to deliver relevant pages to users when the original page has been removed or the content has been merged into another page.
From an SEO perspective, the old page’s ranking will transfer to the new page.

Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs, are metrics used to measure the success or failure of a marketing campaign. Ideally, your KPIs are established before the launch of a campaign, so that you are tracking data both before and after the campaign’s launch.
The exact KPIs used in a campaign will vary depending on the goals of the campaign and the marketing channels used.
