Redirected links

Does anyone know how to create a redirected link? Now that my new websites are at the point my old website was at (actually the new ones also have new content) I would like people automatically be redirected to the appropriate page on my new website.
Thanks.

If you like html language, here's the solution:

Code::

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.NAME_OF_your_NEW_WEBSITE.com">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
</body>
</html>

or there's also a javascript:

Code::

<script language="javascript">
	top.location.href = "http://www.NAME_OF_your_NEW_WEBSITE.com";
</script>

Choose one of them.

Hope it helps (and hope they work!)

Thanks Simy!! Very Happy

I will try them tonight and let you know if they work on the googlepages. Right now I have to go back to work after almost 2 weeks of vacation. Sad

When is she coming? Poor Simy - she should have met me in Naples! It was 85 degrees and sunny there.

See you Sunday Simy!

Oh yes..I just found out that the mother in law of one of the woman I work with will be on the same flight as you so you will be arriving together.

OK I'll try that on my googlepages. But what about my new site on pages that are not pages? I do not want my directories showing! Shocked

For example click the link:
www.montaltouffugo.net/
This is worse than having your underwear showing! Shocked

Cathy,

Thanks to Simy, and the book she bought me, this ended up being an easy fix.

Log onto your site. Go to Web site tools. Go to public_html. Create a new file (not folder). Call it index.html. Your www.________.com will go there automatically.

Mine did.

Now the only problem is, is that I have to create an "enter" page! Should have done this right from the beginning but I don't want to rename my home page... Evil or Very Mad

Also remember that Google takes some time to refresh what they have ... the cache the information, storing copies ... and update the most heavily used more frequently.
