I thought it would be interesting this summer to take a look at some of my older articles that you may have missed. All of these articles have been re-worked and refreshed for your edification and enjoyment. And I thought I’d start with an article about the meta refresh tag. This is a tag that was originally created to refresh the current page, to add interactivity and allow the designer to make changes and updates without the reader needing to do anything. But browsers quickly added on the ability to load a new page rather than just the current one. And that’s what most people use the meta refresh tag for. But keep in mind that search engines don’t like you to use the meta refresh tag to redirect pages permanently. Some black-hat designers used them to scam people and search engines to get higher rankings. So, it’s best for SEO to use a 301 server redirect instead if you need to redirect a page permanently.
