Using META Tags to Re-direct

Web Source Web Design Tips
by Shelley Lowery

Meta tags are used to give detailed instructions, in regard to a web page, to the Search Engines and browsers.

You can automatically redirect your visitors to another web page by adding the following META tag between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags of your HTML.

The CONTENT attribute tells the browser to re-direct the visitor to the URL you specify in 4 seconds. This can be changed to whatever you'd like.

If you move your web site to a new location, this tag provides a great way to automatically re-direct your visitors.
