I have come across too many “revisit after” meta tags as  I’ve been scouting out some potential client’s and their websites lately. I am completely dismayed that so many so called “SEO experts” advise their clients to use them.

The “revisit after” tag is not a valid meta tag.

Whoever told you the “revisit after” tag would bring back the robots was wrong.  You can’t tell the robots when to come back they have to have a reason to come back. Robots will revisit you after either one of two things.

A)  you re-submit your site map
B)  you add new fresh content to your site/blog.

The more you add fresh content to your site/blog, the more the robots will come to visit and faster too. Within minutes of posting either here or on my social media blog - newmediamike.com, the spiders and bots come a-calling.

Now you won’t get penalized for having the “revisit-after” tag,  but you should still delete it from your head content anyway.  Unless you want an SEO company calling you to tell you that your “revisit after” tag is not a valid meta tag.
