META ROBOTS
tag
It is a tag that tells search engines what to
follow and what not to follow.

It is a piece of code in the <head>
section of your webpage.

It’s a simple code that gives you the
power to decide what pages you want
to hide from search engine
crawlers and what pages you want
them to index and look at.

tag
Another function of the meta robots tag is that it tells
search engine crawlers what links to follow and
what links to stop with.

links going out of your
website you should know
that you lose some

When you have a lot of
links going out of your
website you should know
that you lose some
Google juice. And as a
result, your PageRank
would lower down.
So what you want to do is to keep that

juice to yourself with some of the links
- and you tell the search engine
crawlers not to follow the links going
out of your site because in doing so,
they will also take some of your Google
juice with them.
If you don’t have a meta robots
tag though, don’t panic.
By default, the search
engine crawlers WILL
index your site and
follow your links.
Let me make it clear that search
engine crawlers following
your links is not bad at all.

Losing some of your juice won’t

affect your site much in exchange for
getting the attention of other websites
you’re linking out to.
Basically the meta robots tag can be
cracked down to four main functions
for the search engine crawlers:
