Need a SE Safe 'On-page' HTML Redirect Solution

    Hi Guys,

    I have a site that I can't have direct ftp access to and I cannot have the admin modify the .htaccess or anything else (don't ask). I use an html editor built into their system to modify and add pages so I can modify on-page html. Is there a safe way to redirect a page using on-page code. When I say 'safe' I mean 'search engine friendly'. I need Google etc to replace my indexed pages with my new pages.

    I read somewhere if you use a normal page refresh set to at least 10 seconds or something then this will work. Can anyone confirm?

    Please, please help.

    Thanks all!

    meta refresh tag isnt considered SE friendly...
    you could also try with a "we have moved..." message and the link below to the new page.

    Thanks for the reply agnivo007. So are you saying there is no redirct code I could use? I was hoping to find something like a 301 redirect but which I can simply code into each page directly.

    Thanks

    You had mentioned unavailibility of php or .htaccess.
    So, html meta refresh tag is the only option besides an empty page with "we have moved" and link to the new page.
