<META NAME="Revisit- after" CONTENT="15 days">

[vanekpavel]

in me researches i found that many successfull sites who ranks well on google, have these meta tag <META NAME="Revisit-after" CONTENT="15 days">. Do you think it has some sense to show google spider that my site is often update?
And do you know where (some url) where i can find what all kinds of meta tags exactly means?
thanks for your reply.

There are a lot of meta tags out there that spread around because they see it in someone else's source code.

If the sites are successful, that's just a coincidence.

The description meta tag is definitely read by google. I don't think the keywords tag is important to it, but it's useful for others, like inktomi.

Those two and the content-type tag are the only ones that I use, unless I need a robots exclusion (rarely)

I'm not sure of ANY SE which looks at the revisit-after tag.

Hi

Just a thought....

I think that if you are paying for paid inclusion on inktomi and therefore expecting to be spidered every 48 hours, then they will accept the tag <META NAME="Revisit-after" CONTENT="15 days"> at face value and spider you every 15 days instead!

I suspected that. Why would the (free) SEs allow us to dictate how often they spidered us? Makes the tag useless then doesn't it?

Yes.
