Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the free online robots meta generator.

It tells search engine crawlers how to treat one page: whether to index it, whether to follow its links and how to show a snippet.
index allows a page to appear in search results, while noindex asks crawlers to keep the page out of the index entirely.
nofollow asks crawlers not to follow the links on the page, which is used for untrusted or paid content.
noarchive stops search engines from offering a cached copy of the page next to its listing in the results.
max-snippet limits the characters used in a text snippet. A value of minus one means that no limit is applied.
It carries the same directives as the meta tag but is sent as an HTTP response header, which also works for non HTML files.
Only when you want the page hidden and its links ignored, since nofollow on useful internal links delays discovery.
Place it inside the head section, before other content, so crawlers read the rule as soon as the page is loaded.
