Which is better Robots.txt or Meta Robots Tag?

[seo.svlapp]

Meta Robots tag is much better as it helps in forcing the search engine crawlers not to index and display the hidden pages in your server.

Robots.txt is better option compared to Meta Robots Tag. Meta robots.txt is placed at the root file, whereas Robot Tag is placed at very individual page.

i think, you should use robots.txt file, this is best option to block all website and folder from search engine bot

If you are doing complete website optimization then both are potential.

I would like to suggest robots txt. Its the most important for SEO.

Robots.txt is better than meta robots. Robots.txt is placed on root file but meta robots is place in every page of site to give instruction to search engine to crawl or not crawl a page

[sadianisar]

Both are effective but it would be better if you use robots.txt because it is good for SEO purpose.

[Edtech]

Robots txt used to give information to the search engines to crawl your website pages.

[BerthaJones]

I think they are both useful and the best.
