Asking Robots to Crawl? Does this really work?

Curious, we have a competitor on one of our sites and they have the following code.

Can't figure out how they are beating us, thought this might be it.

Or perhaps its because they have an older copyright on their site?

Regards revisit-after: It's widely considered a myth, developed by one tiny search engine in Canada. There has never been any documented support/usage by the major search engines though.

Here's a link to another Q&A from a little earlier in the year - http://www.seomoz.org/q/meta-tag-revisit-after-useful

Regards why your competitor is beating you in SERPs: could be any number of things... Site age does help, but is not the be all and end all.

Cheers

Speaking of site age at the top of the website I see this.

http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml

Does Google see that date and give them more cred?
