Are the redirected URL and the URL to which you redirect the same? If the latter is different every time you make changes, I don’t think it is a very nice way to go about it.
What do you mean it’s not a very nice way to go about it. I had to make a url change and unfortunately I made a mistake the first time so I changed the url once again and did another redirect.
Example:
URL 1 redirected to a new URL 2
URL 1 redirected to a new URL 3
URL 1 redirected to a new URL 2 or any other URL
Search engines pick up the changed URLs every time you redirect and index them. So the frequent back and forth changes can affect the ranking/ SERP of the URLs.
For further info on this question, please submit the question to a reputed SEO forum or Google forums.
Also, I find that your question has been answered previously here:

So, please do not open new threads on the same issue, especially when it is NOT a WordPress question.
The question I asked previously is not the same. This is an entirely different question. I’ll find an SEO forum or someone else who can better answer my question.
