        You can return a header last-modified, LastMod in your sitemap, or use the Fetch As Googlebot in WMT and then submit the page to the index.

        Even with any of these in place, Google automatically re-crawls your site every few days/weeks or even hours...

          Thanks for your quick response. Is it good practice if we add "Last-Modified" meta tag on page header.

            You have to update your blog, and when the Google Starts to Crawl regularly - no problem for you.

            But you should add the Timestamp in the post or article content. !
