Robots.txt & meta

Robots meta tage or just a robots.txt

[pazang]

Can anyone give me an opinion on if you have a robots.txt do you also need a robots meta tag?

You can do one or the other or even both. It's usually easiest to just use the robots.txt file.

Thanks for that

Is one better than the other?

using robots.txt would be my preference. by adding robots meta tags on every page you increase the file size of every page which is not a good thing. it is also simpler to manage the robots in one place by using robots.txt.
