Does Yahoo 'revisit'?

I have a site listed on yahoo but the listing is crap - Just a title
with a whole lot of garbage as the description. It doesn't look like
Yahoo revisits like Google does - is that the case?

I have no problems with Yahoo revisiting any of my sites and it seems
to visit enough times to keep up with the new content added.

If the content hasn't been modified on a page, the spider may not
re-index that content since it had on a prior visit and its already
cached.

I've noticed from my logfiles that Yahoo does a 304 request for pages; what
this means it is asks for the page but only to send it if it's been changed
since a supplied date and time. This seems very sensible as it cuts down on
the amount of data the bot needs to grab.

The more you change the content on a regular basis, the more the
spiders will revisit your site.

In my experience, the more I did that, and the more pages I added to expand
the content of those pages because of the 100K limit - Google gradually
phased them out of their index.

Right now the pages Google lists for my site are totally different and
incomplete from last months set of pages, and probably will continue to be.
NONE of the keywords or phrases I punch into Google points back to any of
those pages that they currently index. I guess my site has irrelavent
coontent all of a sudden after being in the index for 9 months. But sure is
strange how other SE's never skipped a beat...and in fact have coincidently
benefitted from this occurence at about the same point in time. Just
speculation, but Googles unwillingness to offer help seems to have cost them
some ground. Not that they care , because 50 Billion will last a long long
time, and who there cares about what I have to say anyway when you have so
much money? Here in the U.S. , money talks, common sense and reasoning is
only valuable when the money runs out.

The more you change the content on a regular basis, the more the
spiders will revisit your site.
