This is the simple meta robots that i always use: <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="index follow">
But i am confused with:
<meta name="robots" content="index, nofollow">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">
What does nofollow with index and noindex with follow means here?

index = put the content of this page in the search index follow = follow the links on this page to their target pages ("I trust or vouch for all these links", in other words.)
...and if you put "no" in front, it means the opposite: don't do this action. The order of the attributes is not relevant. However, the "index" or "noindex" is usually the first that people list.
Also note, "index" and "follow" are the default values. That's what will happen if you don't list the particular attribute. So if that's what you want to see, you can save a few bytes in your source code and not worry about listing it.
