various forms of redirects - will any work?

1. default page "redirection" - www.mycompany.com becomes www.mycompany.com/index.html or www.mycompany.com/products becomes www.mycompany.com/products/default.asp
2. www.mycompany.com/products expands to www.mycompany.com/usa/2003/products.asp
3. <REFRESH> tag within javascript on the page.

Would any of these be acceptable?

>1. default page "redirection" - www.mycompany.com becomes www.mycompany.com/index.html or www.mycompany.com/products becomes www.mycompany.com/products/default.asp
Acceptable and indeed preferred.

>2. www.mycompany.com/products expands to www.mycompany.com/usa/2003/products.asp
>Pathological and suspect. Typically, we would NOT deeplink a "products" directory anyway.

>3. <REFRESH> tag within javascript on the page.
Pure evil.

This is a general first impression, and in specific situations an editor might do some head-scratching to see if there is some legitimate reason -- for instance, localization -- for what is generally a problematic feature.

Remember, the "norm" is to list sites, not pages, so for most listings a bare domain name should be adequate. For deeplinks, we prefer the "simplest" working URL, but obviously "short and simple" may sometimes conflict with "simple and direct": in such cases the editor's judgment will be, um, challenged.

Thanks for the quick response. I will inform the webmaster.
