Robots
The simplest of all meta tags, the robots tag,
signals the Googlebot, Google’s search engine
spider, to crawl your entire website. In order
to index your website properly and include all
of your web pages, search engines send their
spiders to review and scan your website on a
regular basis. Google does this every two or
three days.
When the spiders view your meta tags and see
that your robots tag indicates “all,” they simply
start crawling. Although some spiders would
search the majority of your site without the tag,
having it provides the added direction to
search engine crawlers.
Make sure the robots tag is included in your
meta tags to improve crawling.
There are some Internet marketers or
webmasters who recommend submitting
each page of your site directly to the search engines
via single page submission.
This isn’t necessary, especially if you are
including the robots tag. Search engine crawlers do thework
for you.
What’s important is that Google indexes yoursite,
and when it does, itcan find all of your content.
The robots tag can help with that process.
Equally, if not more important, is compliance
withW3C standards industry accepted HTML standards and a sitemap.
When you combine the robots tag with an
easily indexed website, Google and other major
search engines can find and index all of
the pages on your website or blog.
