Is the <lastmod> data important in google sitemap?
I am editing my sitemap.
I used a sitemap generator before as I was too lazy to do it myself, and I did not want to make a simple mistake.
I want to add a page so I was just going to copy and paste the last entry and insert the url.
That's when I noticed the <lastmod>2007-02-06</lastmod>
Should I be changing this when my pages change?
I know g figures it out without this because usually after a few days they are returning the new content in the cached version.
I just wonder if this helps them or me much or not.
