Meta Tags

Someone wrote and asked me how to use meta tags to control how robots index your site. Here's a good explanation: Technical Tips & Hints for the Web.

Basically, meta tags go in the header portion of your webpage (anywhere between the <head> and </head> tags). If you don't want a robot (search engine) to index your page at all, use:

<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow">

To keep robots from archiving a page, you use:

<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="nocache,noarchive">

I'm not sure whether you can combine the two tags, i.e., <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="nocache,noarchive,noindex,nofollow">, but you can certainly use both of them, just stack them up one after the other.
