What is META refresh redirect and how it work?
It works like this: when visitors click on a Web page that contains a META refresh tag inside the HEAD section, they're sent to a different page without actually clicking on a link. This is called page side redirection.
This method will redirect the url to another web page. We have to setup the redirected site by adding a tag into our html script .
The META refresh tag tells the browser to automatically request another page from the server after a certain number of seconds. This is also called "redirecting" because you're sending the visitor to a page other than they one they requested.
Beware !!
The META refresh is an easy way to make sure that visitors go to the page we wish to but search engine spiders usually don't spend a lot of time evaluating them. Often, they'll leave as soon as they encounter a refresh attribute because it's a spammer favorite.
How to place the code
The HTML Re-Direct
Add this tag below the "head"section
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url= http://your-affiliate-link.com/">
This META tag will send a visitor to the new URL after 2 seconds. You can set the timing to 0 seconds and have it jump immediately or set it for 30 seconds or longer.
