What I would like to know is what are the more effective ways/methods for redirecting.
An SEO told me recently they know of 8 different methods, whereas, I only know the following:
<!-- Begin
window.location="http://www.redirect.com";
// End -->
What else is there, and how effective are they in terms of not getting penalised by SE's?
Have you read through the cloaking - stealth [webmasterworld.com] forum? There are some great tips, examples, and even a few mild shouting matches over how to redirect users/browsers.
One of the more effective ways to redirect users is through CGI/Perl and/or .htaccess. The reason why these are more effective is because you don't have to dump some javascript or meta tag refresh code on-page since everything runs on the server side. Also, you have A LOT more control over who you want to redirect and where you want to redirect them to.
