Huh? I know sites that have hundreds or thousands of pages
listed. There are SEs that don't like to be slammed with
1000 URLs in one day; searchenginewatch.com has a chart
on that in their Webmaster section; don't know how current
the chart is, though. Engines like AV or Northern Light or
alltheweb.com -- all claiming to have the most listings --
could hardly afford to follow such a policy.

Yeah, metatag 'em all. As long as you don't break the
anti-spamming rules (mentioned in many deadlock archive
messages) it can't hurt, should help.
