Haha thanks for the example Ryan.

OK, I think I should let my web developer know, he seems to put it on all of his sites (he knows his stuff so maybe it's an old habit he's never bothered to research).

Your example prompted me to find the following page: http://www.seoconsultants.com/clueless/seo/tips/meta/

Quite a good read IMO.

Hi Mozfans,

Just been thinking about the robots revisit metatag, all pages on my website (200+ pages) have the following tag on them;

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

I'm wondering what is the purpose of the tag?

Surely isn't it best to allow robots (such as Googlebot or Bingbot) to crawl your site as often as possible so the index and rankings get updated as quickly as possible?

Thanks in advance everyone!

Thanks for the excellent answer Alex! I think I'm going to go for the plural as it is more accurate to the content on the page.

Thanks for the answer Rene! Is there a way to optimise page titles for both? For example "Green Apple | Green Apples | Apples Galore UK" (don't ask how I came up with a site about apples as an example, it was the first thing that came to my head) seems a bit pointless?

Or would optimising for both feature only in the pages content?

Hi everyone,

OK I've been looking at the Google adwords keyword tool and it's thrown some of my On-page SEO into question (everything said here are examples, I haven't used any real life terms or figures).

Lets say my page is about "Green Apples", let's say the keyword tool shows that the singular version "Green Apple" gets more searches (as an example).

Should I optimize for the singular or the plural?

Also lets say my title tag for that page is "Green Apples | Apples Galore UK" would Google/SEOmoz count that as an optimisation for the singular "Green Apple" or do the search engines take the title literally and don't differenciate between singular and plurals?

Thanks in advance everyone!
