Such redirects have been increasingly used by spammers to befool search engines. So, I heard search engines remove those sites from their database. Excessive use of meta refresh tags to redirect pages can make you appear spammy in the eyes of search engines and they might delete it from their index.

Especially for static pages, the tag is discouraged because it can cause unexpected refreshes which in turn distract a user's attention.

if you want give great impact on ranking purposes, use redirect 301..
301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection.
