Best redirecting method for increasing page rank and SEO friendly solution?
I have few domain names that all are redirecting to one domain name. Currently i am using the html tag <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=mydomain.com/" />. I was hoping that all the redirected traffic will increase my main domain page rank due to the traffic.
But I read yesterday that this ‘refresh’ meta tag is actually bad for SEO. They mentioned there that search engine actually unindex domains like that and therefore i would lose that traffic and the domains would not show up in search results.
Can any one suggest me a good way to redirect the traffic from my secondary domains to my primary one? I would like to monitor the traffic in the secondary domains as well as in the primary domain. Currently i am using google analytics to give me traffic information about all the domains.
Please, when answering this question include whether your method is SEO friend, and how? And, also include whether i can monitor it with google analytics or maybe you can suggest other traffic analytics tool?
Thanks.

I believe the best way to redirect a page is using 301 redirect .htaccess file. Google recommends this!
Create a .htaccess file with the below code
Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html
Please REPLACE oldpage.html and http://www.example.com with your actual domain name.
Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.
