Apart from these popular Meta Tags, there are few more Tags that are not so popular. These are:
Meta Refresh Tag
The Meta Refresh Tag is used to redirect a visitor from one page to another or refresh the same page in a specified time. Same page refresh comes in use when the page content is changing very quickly, for example if there is a running score of a game or stock prices updates happening on that page. When inserted into an HTML document, it causes the user’s browser to load the same or a new web page after a specified number of seconds. This Meta Tag has been manipulated and is sometimes abused as a tool to “bait and switch” a user from a doorway page.
To refresh the current page:
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">
</HEAD> |
Content = "60" denotes refresh after 60 seconds
To redirect to another page:
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://www.seorank.com/">
</HEAD> |
Using a Meta Refresh Tag to redirect to another page is likely to get it dropped from search engines, since this method is tagged as a doorway page in search engine algorithms. Unless you have a compelling reason to use Meta Refresh Tag, do not use it.
