Type of Redirection

There are two main redirects that I know of, a 301 redirect which is permanent and a 302 redirect which is temporary. The 301 redirect is a little more difficult to implement as well, since you need to place some special commands in an .htaccess file (for Apache servers), and on Windows servers it's even more complicated. A 302 redirect on the other hand is a little simpler to implement - you can do it via a javascript or a meta tag.
 
Can you please explain us what is Meta refresh redirection and how it is applied?

Types of Redirects

301 Moved Permanently
302 Found (HTTP 1.1) / Moved Temporarily (HTTP 1.0)
307 Moved Temporarily (HTTP 1.1 Only)
 
301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It's not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the safest option. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently".
