Re: Meta Refresh ? & service can't find my WWW page

>>>>>>>>Isn't it true that many search engines will de-list or not list a
site/page that uses meta refresh<<<<<<<<

YES.....

For the simple reason they base their advertising dollars on being the best
search engine and returning the most relevant searches.   If a person uses a
meta refresh they could submit an innocent site that refreshes to an xxx
site.  This is the main reason why they will be ignored.

So a user searches for one thing but gets another..NOT GOOD!

Have a :) day
