Hello all fellow 1st Pagers. ;)
Have been quite busy, but soon over for summer. Hubby is being featured in the June 2003' issue of "Gulf Shore Life" magazine, so quite elated about that. They flew a photographer down from Manhattan 2 weeks ago to take his photo, so I've called every relative and promised a copy...(have a very large family :) )
And thinking of calling people I don't even know and sending an article to! LOL...
("worked" all my life for this guys and gals...always knew husband was a great Artist, he just did'nt know it)
But enuff 'bout me..
missed all of you. DCElliot, Boris, Angel, Great, Dynasty, Joe large, etc. (Please not upset if cannot remember screen-name, late & tired...but think fondly of all who I have "spoken" with here.)

Help will now enter the picture. I have been learning a bit more, and am now moving Ginos' website to private, paid ".com"
Will need a "redirect page" in AOL, ISP server.
How do I add my http addy to this page?

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>meta refresh sample page</TITLE>


<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=03metaarefresh.htm">

</HEAD>

<BODY>
<H1 ALIGN="center">This will take you to the next page in ten seconds</H1>

</BODY>
</HTML>








That is code I have, but where do I add my new address?
I know you webheads find this question silly, and the answer probably soooo simple, but I take so serious, am most likely clouding solution. :)


Also, the "searchbots". I have submitted Ginos' site to 12 search engines, but now I have read this thing...(think this is close) "txt.robot"...don't let robot read the new page????What is this translated into English? The purpose not to let robot find? Why? etc...etc...
Thanks for the millionth time. I am of no help, only full of questions. But those of you who are brillant, feel free to indulge here ;)
That means YOU!

This Also Works...

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_goToURL() { //v3.0
var i, args=MM_goToURL.arguments; document.MM_returnValue = false;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-1); i+=2) eval(args[i]+".location='"+args[i+1]+"'");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

<p onMouseOver="MM_goToURL('parent','your.com');return document.MM_returnValue">please
redirect....... no redirect click<a href="Your.com"> here</a></p>

You might not want to use this approach, but you could use the robots.txt file to disallow all access to your page (for the robots, at least) except for the re-direct, and then simply submit the new URL to the search engines. In time, all should take care of itself.

On second thought, wait until you're sure that the new URL is being indexed by the search engines before you disallow the old pages!

I'm facing this situation now. Search engines list both my old and new URLs in the same search results (often very close to each other), even though the old pages are just a redirect to the new site.

If you provide a link as well on the redirect page, shouldn't the robot follow that link anyway?

It's just a thought...

Thanks Boris, that is exactly what I was looking for.
:)

Tm, Thanks you as well. But I have a Javascript inserted just about everywhere possible, so don't think I can use. But copy & paste just because its good script to have. :)

Corey, good suggestions, and after I surf on over to Boris' link
I'll be better informed about what I should do. :)

Thanks again all
