Using  the "robots" meta tag on your site properly

 
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
Controls Web robots on a per-page basis. Robots may traverse this page but not index it. The meta robots' tag gives the search engines directions regarding indexing your website. You can tell the search engines what pages of your website you want included in the database. This can be particularly useful when there are pages you don't want indexed.

"all" - Tells the search engines to index all of your webpages. 
"index" - Tells the search engines to index the page that contains this tag. 
"noindex" - Tells the search engines to not index the page that contains this tag. 
"nofollow" - Tells the search engines to not follow any of the links on the page that contains this tag to index them. 

AltaVista supports:

"noindex" prevents anything on the page from being indexed. 
"nofollow" prevents the crawler from following the links on the page and indexing the linked pages. 
"noimageindex" prevents the images on the page from being indexed but the text on the page can still be indexed. 
"noimageclick" prevents the use of links directly to the images, instead there will only be a link to the page.

We currently use the following program "Traffic Seeker" which in addition to submitting to a large number of search engines, also automatically configures all your meta tags and also will create doorway pages!  Click on the link below to get your copy!
