Which is better — Meta Robot tags or robots.txt?

[Prateektechnoso]

Both are used to command Search Engine Crawler to block the unwanted and Error URL's. The Robots tags will help to command in a particular URL or a single page. But robots.txt file is used to control whole Website URL's through single file.

I think both are very important, meta robots tags and robots txt.

Using a meta robots tag also ensures that your link equity is not being lost, with the use of the 'follow' command. Robots. txt files are best for disallowing a whole section of a site, such as a category whereas a meta tag is more efficient at disallowing single files and pages.

Both meta robots tag and robots.txt can be used to instruct search robots, that if you want to restrict or allow follow or indexing. The difference lies in the way you can use these two amazing features.

While Meta robots tags can help you specify follow and index preference for a particular web page where you are using this tag, the robots.txt file can be used to restrict or noindex the complete folder like a private folder that requires users to login.

Apart from that, robots.txt file can be used for various other features as well like specifying sitemap.xml file etc.
Hope it helps!

Robots.txt is good option while on-page SEO for better indexing. https://www.pinkdistrictsexystore.com/

For which purpose?
without stating purpose how one can give a clear opinion?

[jayam]

Robots. txt files are best for disallowing a whole section of a site, such as a category whereas a meta tag is more efficient at disallowing single files and pages. You could choose to use both a meta robots tag and a robots.

Enough answers are given, I think @admin should close the thread now!!

Robots.txt is better compared to meta robots tag. It is a text file that lists webpages which contain instructions for search engines robots. The file lists webpages that are allowed and disallowed from search engine crawling.
