The new permanent URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s).
Until now for a 301 response I would only send the 301 response header and a new Location header. I've never added a hyperlink to the new location.
Is this hyperlink required from an SE point of view?
And how should the hyperlink be added? Embedded in a 'normal' webpage with <html> and <body> tags or is only a <a href="newlocation"> sufficient?
Thanks,
Arjan
