Alternative to 301 L

Hi to all for one more time and a happy new year!

Would this example be a good alternative for .htaccess 301 L redirection? Is it google-compatible or not?

Thx in advance!

Meta-refresh is not a redirect at all, since it is handled inside the browser. It also depends on the search engines fetching and parsing the page correctly... You are at their mercy as to whether they treat it as a 301 or a 302.

This is a method that should only be used as a last resort. If I was on a server that could not generate proper 301 responses, I'd change hosts rather than use a meta-refresh.
