Which is better — Meta Robot tags or robots.txt?
 

Hlo Friends,
Which is better — Meta Robot tags or robots.txt?

Is it better to use meta tags* or the robots.txt file for informing spiders/crawlers to include or exclude a page?

Are there any issues in using both the meta tags and the robots.txt?

You can also use both instead of wasting time in finding better of the two

Robots.txt files are best for disallowing a whole section of a site, such as a category whereas a meta tag is more efficient at disallowing single files and pages. You could choose to use both a meta robots tag and a robots.txt file as neither has authority over the other, but “noindex” always has authority over “index” requests.
