Hello friends,

What is a robots meta tag?

[juliaalan]

Meta tags are lines of html code on a web page that do not affect how the page looks to visitors, but contain extra information—”meta” data—that may be useful to search engines or coders.

The robots meta tag is a tag designed to talk directly to search engine programs (“robots”) as they crawl your web page. Search engines are constantly crawling the internet looking for new or updated content so that their search results are current and accurate. Most search engines will read a site’s robots tag and respect any special instructions it contains.

The robots meta tag is an HTML tag that goes the head tag of a page and provides instructions to bots. Like the robots.txt file, it tells search engine crawlers whether or not they are allowed to index a page.
