Hi there,

I disabled google and other search engines crawl and indexing my site by code in robots.txt

Code:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
but in my html template I still put

Code:
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
thus Google crawled and indexed my web pages.

just want to know How to use/control the meta robots tag for Google index or following my web pages?

Thanks in advanced!

Hello,

If you disable spiders crawl your web pages then you can use this robot tag:

Code:
<meta name="robots" content="index, nofollow">
Google spider will not index page, only look at page.

Code:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">
Google spider will not index/crawl pages, not look at other pages from this page.

Code:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">
You can switch between index/noindex and follow/nofollow depends on your requirements on web pages to control spiders crawl/index or not.

Hope it's useful to you.
