I read in the Yahoo listing info that you can put something in your source code disabling Yahoo from cashing your site. Seems like this would be good to keep your site as up to date as possible, as long as you don't let it go down.
Any pro's / con's?

With out looking through logs, something of no interest to me, the cache with show you when the page was last refreshed in the index. You'll want to put a updated x/x/xx on the page though to track your own page changes to see if Y! has caught up and to see what diff they made if any.

Shotokan,
Whether or not Yahoo can provide a link to a cached page from your site does not have any bearing on how often Yahoo slurp refreshes your pages.

Ahh, that all makes sense. The description for each result only changes when that page gets spidered providing that content or tags have been changed.
thanks

I wouldn't do anything to mess up the spidering..so yes, let them cache your site.
