Submission Frequencies

(Should you resubmit pages to SE's?)

I undesrtand that HotBot and Inktomi "like" to have pages resubmitted to them - that this refreshes good listings.

I also have been told you need to change the last updated date for Inktomi to "swalllow" this.

If this is true. For what search engines does it work and are there any known (META) tricks to avoid having to change the last updated date?

Thanks

ps I may be new, but I ask good questions huh??!

So good, you stumped the crowd ;)

Ya, it generally helps to change the last modified date for Ink. They do read that and track it. So does NorthernLight. I'm not sure about Google, and you actually don't want the date to change with Alta.

Thanks Brett

Is there any way around this you know of by use of, say, meta no-cache instructions?
