Meta tags

[iknowalttl]

I was wondering about a couple meta tags...

name="revisit-after" content="7days"

name="robots" content="index, follow"

Do these tags tell bots and spiders to follow the links on the page they are crawling and to come back again in 7 days?

I was also wondering if a spider or bot followed the links, does it include links outside of the site it is crawling... if so how do you control it?

You are correct in your assumptions.

There's also a new anchor attribute rel="nofollow" that the major search engines are using. Links with this attribute set won't be followed by the spider.


<A href="outlink.html" rel=nofollow">link</A>
