Google's Opinion on Javascript Page Refresh
- by user35306
I was wondering if anyone knows Google's view on this.
My company has a homepage that features a lot of 3rd parties on it and it needs to inform customers which ones are currently online, which aren't, and which are currently busy. Because this constantly changes, we have the homepage refresh to show the most relevant and up-to-date content to our users.
I'm not using a meta refresh element in the http-equiv parameter to do this. Instead I have this js element to refresh the page:
window.setTimeout("refreshPage()", 120000);
I just want to know whether people think Google might consider this a violation of the content guidelines or not. Or if it's not an outright violation, then at least if Google frowns on this or not. It doesn't redirect the user to a different page or anything, just refreshes the page so that they can see the most relevant content.
