Hi All! To Robot Meta Tag, or Not To Robot Meta Tag?

I've gotten each of my pages from 86% to 100%, and mostly mid 90's in terms of relevance factor. But each of the analyzers mentions that I do not have a robot meta tag in the header. I now have several sources for the html snippet required, but the question is... so what? Does the tag improve search speed, ranking, the drag coefficient of an airplane wing????

The robot.txt file is really only necessary if you want to tell the se's to NOT follow to some pages. Otherwise, just forget it. It won't do any of the search speed, ranking or promoting you to king things LOL

The meta that you have to have (IMO) are the title and description. And some of the lesser se's still look at keywords - just don't spam them.

Re: New Mexico Rides! A Motorcycle Community

Thanks, Bethers! You cleared that up nicely... as always. (I'm only shooting for Duke at this point.) I'll move along to the next thing.

Another article I ran across had to do with the duplicate page issue. The analysis I ran on that indicated that my pages were somewhere in the 25% to 50% range of duplication, depending on which pages were being compared to each other.

The relevance of page duplication within the site to being viewed as potential spam by a search engine seemed to be a significant issue per this article. It was my impression in starting out that having similarity (for a site like mine which is more travel targeted and information oriented, rather than say catalog sales) was a good thing; with the empahsis being different page content page to page.

I'm I getting bogged down with more esoteria & and trivial pursuit?

Thanks!
