About the same as
<meta name="google" content="dear google, please list me at number one">

In other words nothing :) Search engines decide for themselves how often
to visit your site from how often your content changes and how often they
find new pages, google especially uses the "If-Modified-Since" header which
your server should send - ask your host. To keep search engines coming back
make sure your content changes regularly. I'm fairly certain there's a
direct link between how often your content changes and your ranking - can't
prove it but I wouldn't bet against it either
