Our homepage currently uses a Meta refresh. Is it worth $1,000 to get it fixed?

Look at http://www.ccisolutions.com  After the meta refresh takes place the homepage URL looks like this: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/IAFDispatcher?iafAction=showMain  I am trying to convince management that it is worth spending $1,000 with our current provider to get it fixed. It is my understanding that this meta refresh could be preventing the value of our homepage from being passed down to our category pages, etc. Can anyone give me something concrete that I can use to convince management that the fix is worth $1,000? Or is it not worth fixing?

Yes, yes, yes: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons?site=www.ccisolutions.com%2FStoreFront%2FIAFDispatcher%3FiafAction%3DshowMain&comparisons[0]=http://www.ccisolutions.com

Use that comparison to show them that you're mixing up your link juice by getting links to both URLs and by consolidating you'll be able to rank that home page better.

Hope that helps!
