Have you seen this tag?
<meta name=”revisit-after” content=”15 days”>
“The revisit-after META Tag is not supported by any major search engines, it never was supported and probably never will be. It was developed for, and supported by, Vancouver Webpages and their local search engine searchBC.” SEOConsultants.com (If you read the requirements to become an SEOConsultants member, one disqualifier is using the revisit-after meta tag!)
While researching Dealer.com sites, I found it everywhere.
Frankly, I had to Google it, to find the reason for using the tag. I had taken for granted that the tag was used by a search engine that I was just not yet familiar with – true. I never worked with searchBC. I’m sure there is no SEO harm in using the tag. Google, Yahoo and Bing tend to overlook HTML that is not meaningful. But this does illustrate how even (or especially the larger) companies that claim to do SEO, and charge a lot for it, actually don’t know anything about the SEO they do.
Like SEOConsultants.com rule to membership proclaims, anyone in the (Automotive) SEO business that uses this tag probably doesn’t know SEO.
It may take some time to assemble, but I will try to report back as quickly as possible with a list of Automotive SEO companies that use the <meta name=”revisit-after” AND claim to provide SEO compliant car dealer websites.
