It's not designed to accommodate the variety of possible link structures out there. If you new site does not match the structure or permalinks of your old blog, it will not work properly.

I've noticed, however, that Google links to my old WordPress blog (internal links to individual blog entries) don't lead to my new blog. They go to an Error 404 message. Does this sort itself out, in time? Or am I supposed to do something else so that all these internal links to my blog start functioning? (Kind of defeats the purpose of the Site Redirect purchase, if not.)
