Robots meta tag

The Robots Meta Tag is a control tool in website optimization for indexing management. Unlike the Robots.txt file, which defines accessibility for the entire domain, the Robots Meta Tag sets a crawling condition for individual URLs.

Where is the Robots Meta Tag located?

Like all important information for the search engine bot, the robots meta tag is stored in the header of the website. It can be easily found in the source code. It is a special HTML tag that is inserted into the head section of a web page and instructs the web crawlers (also called spiders) how to treat the page.

Es gives several instructions that can be used in a robots meta tag, including "noindex" which tells crawlers not to include the page in their index, "nofollow" which tells them not to follow links on the page, and "noarchive" which tells them not to create a cached copy of the page.

The use of Robots Meta Tags is crucial for indexation management, as they give specific instructions to crawlers at the URL level. However, if you are looking for a cross-domain way to prevent website areas from being crawled, the Robots.txt file is a good choice.
