  • Girish Kapoor: Revisit-After Meta Tag is really worked or not

    How many of you implemented revisit-after meta tag, and experienced that this tag really works. In my case, it is not working exactly the way I thought.
  • Jim Munro: I think you'll find it is a waste of space, Girish. Googlebot will come back on it's own timetable.
  • Rahul Chauhan: this will add no value, all its depends on the updating frequency of the website.
  • Ammon Johns: Revist after is mostly a waste of time, and it was only ever meant as a throttle, never, ever an accellerator.

    If you are worried that the search spiders are taking up too much of your bandwidth, the idea was to implement revisit after so they wouldn't keep grabbing the same page before it changed.

    There is no tag anywhere that will make a spider visit you sooner.
