This tag is commonly used to redirect a visitor to another
URL. The attribute CONTENT specifies the time in seconds
before the visitor is automatically directed to that URL.
You can also have the visitor wait several seconds to
let him/her read a short message before the redirection
starts. The quotation marks around the entire CONTENT
attribute's value are not to be left out, or it will not
work at all.
Example: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;
URL=http: //www.new-url.com">
This attribute is very useful. It will automatically break
your page out of someone else's frame. If you use frames
yourself, put this tag only on your index page (where
you usually define the frame tags) or you'll break out
of your own frames:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Window-target" CONTENT="_top">
If you have information on your page that you want to
keep private, you can control the indexing of particular
pages by the robots and spiders of search engines. The
default for this attribute is "all", which allows
the spider to index the page and to follow the links on
the page. "None" is the opposite of "all".
Other alternatives are "index" which means that
the spider can index the page but not follow the links,
and "noindex" would be that it cannot index
the page but it can follow the links. "Follow"
means it can follow the link, but not index the page.
And lastly, "nofollow" allows the robot to index
the page, but not follow the links.
Example: <META HTTP-EQUIV="robots" CONTENT="index">
