Latest News Re-Visit Meta Tags - "Work or Not"

Posted by Steven J. Ram, antRoar marketing

In my professional opinion the truth about the re-visit meta tags is that they do work. For the last 3 months I have been acutely aware of the top positions reached within Google and Yahoo for my usual business clients.

What I have noticed is that usually at least 7 out of 10 of the websites that have been returned for search results actually do have these Re-visit meta tags.

Coincidence, maybe but highly unlikely as over the last 2 years the re-visit meta tags were on where to be seen on any webpage.

It's only been the last 6-9 months that this type of meta tag seems to have made a revamp and in certain cases, an impact.

Now 7 out of 10 returns does suggest that the re-visit tags are alive and working and when I investigated this further I found that out of all the 7 that had re-visit after, all had different content posted than what they did 3 months prior.

Here's the question, Is it the changing content that makes the Google & Yahoo robots seek these sites or is it the re-visit meta tags.

Good question with no real definable answer, unless of course your an algorithm employee for Google or Yahoo.

So, what do you think, or to be more precise, what have you found through testing and research. All comments are welcomed.

Thanks,
