Can someone please give me an example(html code if possible)of the best and most effctive way of re-directing a web page to another one? I have a web page that has moved and i need the search engines to be able to recognize the re-direct and change my search listing to reflect the new web page and url. The new page is actually the same, just the url has changed...if that helps. Currently i have a meta tag refresh url link with a 5 second delay and a blank page with a link on it with text saying "this page has moved". I kept all the same mets tags IE: description, key words etc.., should i have?

You're looking for a 301 redirect. Search the site for details as this question's been answered many times. You're likely to find quality detailed instructions that have already been written.

try looking through the Apache Web Server [webmasterworld.com] forum. You'll find almost everything you ever need to know about .htaccess files and redirects.
