    Hi,

    Im trying to do a redirect from an .html to .aspx using the refresh meta tag on a windows server..
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://example.com/" />
    I have read in some places that this is not the best method, as the site can get black listed.

    Has anyone tried this method or any other one. Please suggest.

    Waiting for your response....
    Thanks

    Personally I only use the redirect as an index page in directories that I do not want visitors to be able to list the content. and then it only redirects to the sites front page.

    Redirection is a difficult technique in which chance to be blacklisted from Google is huge. My advise is not to try to do redirect on your own.

    DO NOT USE A META REDIRECT.

    Please can I ask the purpose of the redirect?

    Old page?

    Permanent redirect needed for all files?

    create .htaccess file using 301 redirect for all pages that url segments were changed
    eg.
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    redirect 301 /folder/examplepage.php http:// www. example .com /examplepage/

    (***the domain name hasn't space)
    I hope this helps
