meta tag help

[QueBert]

this could be tech support I suppose but I'm having meta tag problems. The problem is I'm not getting the results I should with them, it's obvious I don't have the proper grasp what I need to have in them.

Should I have different meta tag info for each page? I run an on-site computer company in my town. I've been doing it for years, I don't exactly have the best name for the internet "Fusiontek" type that in google or yahoo and a ton of places come up.

I just looked at my tags and I didn't have a "revisit after: one. Will the robots from the sites I've submitted my site to visit back on their own or should I resubmit my site? I changed my keywords and description so hopefully people can find me easier.

Can you rephrase your question?

sorry was half asleep when I posted that, I almost don't remember doing it.

I didn't include a "revisit-after" tag in my Meta, yahoo/google and all the other places I submitted my URL to have already spidered my site, I went back and added a "revisit-after 30 days" But, since I didn't have the tag there when my site was indexed, will the bots come back to check the site again, or should I resubmit the URL?

meh, meta tags are so 90's. They don't really do that much anymore.

They will come back. I don't have any meta tags on my sites, and I get indexed daily by all the big bots.

Your best method of gaining traffic, really, is getting other sites to link to you. The more inward flow the better chance you have of another spider following the link to your site.

Meta-tagging the index file should suffice. I don't think robots give much about a revisit-after instruction, except if you set an especially high value. I think you're fine with something like this but getting a good pagerank is science anyway:

<META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Type a sentence of about this length here and Google will display it below your link">
<meta name="keywords" content="Here, come, keywords, but, I, don't, know, if, they, are, of, any, use, nowadays">
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">

doesn't Google use the meta description for listing your page though? I know Yahoo & Ask just used my <title> which I didn't know they did so I quickly changed that. I'm not sure how important Meta Tags are, I know they are getting aged and the importance is less. But, it only takes a minute to add them, if it can't hurt and is painless to implement I'm going to do anything I can to help my site out.
