META REFRESH SEO Concerns

When using a META REFRESH tag, check to make sure it is set to refresh after 30 seconds.
[meta equiv="refresh" content="30; URL=http://www.mysite.com"]

Most popular search engines view pages that refresh in under 30 seconds as spam. It is suggested that you use JavaScript redirect tags, if you need a faster page refresh rate.

Example:

1 - Paste this code into the HEAD of the HTML code on your page. Change the 3000 to a number you prefer. Each 1000 represents 1 second wait time.



2 - Code an onLoad event handler using Javascripy and place inside the documents BODY tag, such that the JavaScript code is run when the page loads.
[body onload="redirect()"]
