redirecting is dangerous?

Hi,

I have used this code in index.html to redirect from my www.site.com to redirect to a folder within my site. example www.site.com -> www.site.com/folder

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
      CONTENT="0; URL=/folder/index.php">

Code (markup):

Is this a dangerous kind of redirect? So it can get my site to be banned or un index from search engine?

Any kind of solution if it is dangerous?

Thanks,

 

i think 301 redirect is good option for redirecting urls to new.

 

Yeah, I think 301 is the best option, we have done many 301s and never had a problem. Fingers crosssed

 

I think that's perfectly fine. Nothing dangerous at all :0

 

Yes 301 is a good option for SEO Friendly redirects, Here is a nice guide >> http://www.searchenginepromotionhelp.com/m/articles/search-engine-problems/url-redirect-safe.php

 

301 redirect better.

 

The case is when i use Redirect by using .htaccess so it is also affecting my addon domains. They are automatically redirected to the new link i write in .htaccess. So it does not help me so much. I have tried to find some solution on net, but doesn´t find any good. That works for me.

So therefore i think it is easier to use a method using same index.html to redirect.

 

Or it is better to use a php redirection? Like this:

<?php
header( 'Location: http://www.site.com/folder/new_page.html' ) ;
?>

Code (markup):

 

As always 301 is always good option.

 

use 301...for best results

 

What is dangerous mean?Is this mean hacking

 

With dangerous i mean, can search engine ban the site if i used this code

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
      CONTENT="0; URL=/folder/index.php">

Code (markup):

 

use a 301.

 

No it won't. I think I have something like that before, and the site is still indexed.

 

Avoid Meta Redirect. Use 301 Redirect (search for it; lots of resources available).

 

META Redirect is useful (for HTML) when other file formats are disallowed, i.e. when the server does not support PHP or .HTACCESS

 

To be honest i still dont know how "dangerous" redirecting is, i redirected a a few domains to my main Pr7 domain a few months ago wich were all pr0 and by the time of the recent update 3 or the 5 were pr5..... And the other 2 pr1 and 3

...... No one has still explained how this was possible,

 

When we talk about the danger of redirections it's about the purpose of deceiving users and search engines by displaying a page for search engines to rank and then when a human visitor comes over that page, he is redirected to another page. Having a 301 redirect means telling search engines "hey, you've landed an outdated page, here's the more appropriate one".

Tell me what impact did increase in PageRank brought to your site?
