SEO Question...?

[Slappy The King]

I've compiled a little SEO book and can someone give me some explaination about the robots tag?? My book is here for what it's worth http://www.websitetraffictricks.com it's for beginners just getting into the internet.

My concern about the robots tag is that all information that I've received is that this tag stops the bots from reading pages. However, if you don't have this tag as follow then the bots will not give indepth reading to additional pages in your site...

Help..

Not to worry, the search engines will index your site whether you have follow or not.

More importantly make sure you have uploaded a sitemap file to google. This gives all the search engines a starting point to begin indexing your site.
