Metadata Elements - Robots META Tag
The Robots META Tag is meant to provide users who cannot upload or control the /robots.txt file at their websites, with a last chance to keep their content out of search engine indexes and services.

Examples of the Robots META Tag
The content="robots-terms" is a comma separated list used in the Robots META Tag that may contain one or more of the following keywords without regard to case: noindex, nofollow, all, index and follow.
noindex
Page may not be indexed by a search service.

nofollow
Robots are not to follow links from this page.

Admin Note: The robots directives of index, follow or all are not required as it is the default behavior of indexing spiders.


index
Robots are welcome to include this page in search services.

follow
Robots are welcome to follow links from this page to find other pages.

If this meta tag is missing, or if there is no content, or the robot terms are not specified, then the robot terms will be assumed to be "index, follow" (e.g. "all"). If the keyword all is found in the robots terms list it overrides all other values. That is, a robots terms that is "nofollow, all, noindex, nofollow", would effectively be "all".
If the robots terms contains contradictory information (e.g. "follow, nofollow, follow") then the robot is free to do whatever it wishes with regard to the behavior being addressed (in this case the follow behavior).

Author: Found no author meta tag.
If I told you that I just found a couple of search results where the person's name being searched was only mentioned in an author meta tag. what would you say?
Ya, I couldn't believe it either but the proof is in the pudding as they say. I've been using that author meta tag.for as long as I can remember. If you wish to pass WAI-A Validation, the author meta tag.is mandatory.
Do you use it?
This tag is not really required but helps for your (company) name recognition.
