Cache control
Hi,

Does Links include cache control headers?

Like:

If not - is a global a way around it - is seems it can save loads of bandwidth

You could use mod_gzip or mod_gunzip to save bandwidth if you wanted.

I already do that - but it seems that you can save bandwidth if search engines can tell if a page is updated or not...

Any easy way to implement that?

I want to add the Last-Modified header and set it to Mod_Date

Perhaps this would do the trick?

<META NAME="last-modified" CONTENT="<%Mod_Date%>">

Did you try this?:
<META NAME="revisit-after" CONTENT="7 days">

hmm will that work?

I was told in another Forum that this might do the trick?

Code:
<meta http-equiv="Last-Modified" content="Thu, 08 May 2003 14:00:00 GMT">


Any ideas?

Cheers
Klaus

Not sure which one is better.
Probably you should search for a search engine description to find out, what meta info is used to decide to re-spider a site, or not...

yeah I am trying to find info - my objective is to ensure that the SE knows they have visited a dynamic page so it moved on to other pages instead of keep spidering the same.

I did not find any definitive answers - seems there are many opinions - and the SE themselves are not revealing anything as far as I could find..

Anyway - will post here if I find anything
