Using <meta name="revisit-after" to your a... - 4/30/2005 2:48:24   
Curious, does adding the code <meta name="revisit-after" to your header help with your website in terms of ranks?

Does it piss off the bot to set the day to every 5 days? Is it better to do this if you have constant updates? I usually notice robots coming to the site a few times per day, so maybe this tag is not needed in this situation...

Look forward to your input :)

Thanks in advance Joe/Brian

My experiences are that it doesn't matter. I have revisit set to 2 days on many sites that Googlebot reindexes every day. I have smaller sites that have revisit set to 3 days and the bot comes around once per week.

Maybe someone else is getting better mileage out of it than me.  For all new sites/pages I don't include that tag any longer. I think Meta tags are worthless if you have quality content and even better back links.

Hi

It's completely worthless and has only ever been used by some obscure Canadian(?) search engine.

Ever seen an angry wife that just found out her husband is cheating on her?
