/redirect.aspx impact on web stats

The new CMS we are using links to internal pages by creating a redirect link (eg. /redirect.aspx), ie loses the URL that would otherwise comprise the meaningful page name (eg. xxx.com/aboutus/contactus.html). Apparently this is to avoid broken links in case pages are removed and the reference links get forgotten. Has anyone come across this before? And how does this impact the webstats if the /redirect.aspx is a top 3 page with over 2000 visits??
