Only if you'd like your site to be spidered more often. :)

And if you are not updating it daily or weekly, there isn't much point in getting spidered mosr often, is there?

Just out of interest, say if you had some dynamic content within your pages that changes. eg. a session counter or a hit counter, does Google count this as 'new content'?

Logic suggests that Google have set a bottom level for the size of a change that is needed to provoke an early revisit by googlebot. I strongly doubt that a counter is enough.

Surely it is just based on the HTTP header response that googlebot gets. If the server tells him that the page is not modified ie a header response of 304 then he knows not to crawl.

Of course I might be entirely wrong.
