HTML Forwarding / Redirection

RobSoftware · #1 (**permalink**) 11-03-2005, 09:50 AM

It is very, very simple:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=redirection_url.html">

Add the line above inbetween the <head> and </head> tags.

There are several different ways of accomplishing a redirect.
Below is the small Perl code script that redirects your site guests automatically.

Quote:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Location: http://www.domain.com/file.htm\n\n";

Are you really serious???
I never thought that could be so simple.... I never thought I could redirect a page using html code only.

Thanks for this great tip!!

Note that using the META tag with a setting of 0 supposedly causes problems with Google's spider - even with some other setting, I'm not sure they'd follow it. Also, it's not as efficient or robust as a 301 (permanently moved) or 302 (temporarily) HTTP response that a server side scripting language would (probably) generate.
That being said. If you've just got an HTML page, it's a quick and easy way to get it done.

A 301 redirect is the most common and recommended redirection method.
Its safe and also SEO friendly

well you could always do:

HTML Code:

<body onload=setTimeout("location.href='http://www.google.com'",1)>

I have wrote a HOWTO on this subject here, 301 Redirect tutorial

I hope it is useful to somebody!

I knew there was another way other than a 301 redirect, and this is it. I couldn't remember exactly what it was, I certainly forget things often.
