This post is kind of short but the purpose here is to finalize the examination started in the previous post; we’ll go through the remaining of the <HEAD> elements such as:
Meta Robots Tag, Meta Author Tag, Meta Image Toolbar, Google Webmaster Tools
6. Meta Robots Tag
This tag is usually used by new or unskilled Webmasters. Take for example this Meta Robots Tag:
<meta name=”robots” content=”index,follow” />
This is useless because it is what a search engine does by default. Using this tag as typed above makes as much sense as posting a sign that says, “Remember, breathe while you sleep” Get my point? Yes, it’s an automatic process which doesn’t require further commands.
It is the same with a search engine bot. However there are other useful variations of the Meta Robots Tag, such as using the tag to keep a page from being indexed.
