Introduction

SEO & Metadata, URL Redirection

Simple Meta Refresh Redirect is a Content type Plugin that helps to simply redirect Joomla article pages to URL's of your choice. Useful if you need to redirect only individual articles articles in a safe way, and to transfer to the new URL the page's Google ranking. The plugin inserts HTML meta refresh tag redirection in the otput of the article. Even if this technique does not return 301 permanent redirect HTTP status code, is considered by Google as a 301 redirect and is one of recommended ways to do an one-page redirect with transferring the page's Google PageRank - PR.
You can insert Simple Meta Refresh Redirect by inserting in your article anywhere:
{MetaRefresh}targetURL{/MetaRefresh}
In the plugin's configuration you can set a timeout and a target for opening the new URL, but for the best SEO results is recommended to use the default settings (0 seconds for timeout), and opening the URL in same window (also by leaving the Open redirect URL in new window setting on the default value of NO).
If you use Blog views on your page or modules which are showing introtext or short excerpts of the articles, and want to avoid accidental redirecting from those pages, it is recommended to insert the plugin code after the Read More tag - or at the very end of your article.
Also, even if the plugin has some protection for filtering out faulty URL's, for best results is highly recommended to use correct URL's, including the leading http or https! When you insert the string in your article, please make sure if there is no extra HTML code or style code in the string. Tahe a look to the article in code view (not the rich HTML editor to be sure that the URL is added correctly, like:
{MetaRefresh}http://someurl.tld/somepage.html{/MetaRefresh}

Functionality
It's very simple and it does exact what I expact.
Ease of use
There is only a simple short code. Able for dummies like me too.
Documentation
Short but complete. Unmistakable.
I used this to: The extension "Ultimate Users" from Faboba does not provide the forwarding to a certain menu item (after login). You can only select a specific item.
So "Simple Meta Refresh Redirect" taken and the forwarding written in a Joomla article. Finished! Works great!
