I've been told that the meta refresh on an html page isn't appreciated or
followed by search engines. I thought about an asp page with
response.redirect to a page, would that help or would it be seen the same
way? I also thought about the server.transfer, maybe that would be the best
way to go for search engine sake?
 
Chris,

Response.Redirect and Server.Transfer are not seen by the search engine
robots, only a human would have the ability to notice the change.

However it is better to develop your site where re-direction is not needed
so that you can continue to have FP manage your hyperlinks.

I mainly use Response.Redirect when I post multiple forms to a single script
page for adding/updating/deleting records from a database or passing users
to specific pages based on input from a prior pages, etc., then Redirect is
needed to get the user back or to a specific page.
