      What does this mean? That isn’t an address on the website (fdmgroup.com)?All I can think of is that there may be some email address incorrectly entered on the blog somewhere – but it’s not a meta-refreshLooking at the referring page http://www.fdmgroup.com/fdm-group-speaks-out-against-the-revelation-that-one-in-four-graduates-fail-to-find-work/ - a blog entry from 2011 – it seems someone’s tried to attach google tracking code to the email address?Thanks in advance.

        I'm confused as to what your question is. I'm assuming it's related to a meta refresh or some error related to a meta refresh but you haven't really specified what you mean.

        In regards to the email on that page it looks like someone added an on click event for event tracking in google analytics but that should be irrelevant to a meta refresh. The email itself is coded incorrectly, which is why you'll notice clicking on it redirects you to the homepage(at least in firefox and chrome). The "http://" needs to be removed and probably replaced with "mailto:" so that it's "mailto:sheira.gorris@fdmgroup.com"

          Hi Christopher,

          Can you elaborate on where you've seen a meta refresh reported?

          Cheers

            Jane,

            I've seen the meta refresh reported on this page: http://www.fdmgroup.com/fdm-group-speaks-out-against-the-revelation-that-one-in-four-graduates-fail-to-find-work/

            I've since removed the email address on this page. Is meta refresh still an issue? Thanks.

            • Capitalization of first letter of each word in meta description. Catches more attention, but may this lead to google ignoring the meta description then more frequently?
