Add this meta tag to every page you wish to redirect to another URL

"0" here stands for number of seconds before redirect happens. The http://letsforum.com is the URL that the page is to be redirected to.

Redirect URL using .htaccess file.
This redirect is mostly known as 301 redirect so open up notepad copy and paste this code then save it as .htaccess make sure to use ALL FILES as Save as type

Fix your code layout its very hard to read as is. Also both of these methods have been shown in other posts on the forums as well as other methods of redirection.

You also should explain if and why one is better than the other or what is the best method to use and what implication if any there maybe by using one method over another.

You should repost a fixed code post. If someone copy and pastes exactly as is it will not work.

You seriously cant spot the issue in the code pasted above? If not you better slow down and actually read what was posted!

If you look at my post that is what they had when I wrote that. The mod must have come and fixed the erroneous bold tags in the post.

Many say that "Redirect URL using META TAG" is bad for SEO (search engine optimization) is it true or not?
