Refresh
Meta Tag
The refresh META tag
is used as a way to redirect or refresh users to another webpage
after X number of seconds. This META tag is often used as a
"bridge" page which is accessed first by users and
are then redirected to another webpage. Some search engines
discourage this type of META tag because it opens opportunity
for users to spam search engines with similar pages which all
lead to the same page. In addition, this also makes many of
the search engines databases cluttered with irrelevant and multiple
versions of the same data.
The refresh
tag is NOT recommended.
Example:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" content="X;URL=http://www.website.com/index.html">
|
