    Hi Guys,

    Superb job on this website - so thanks for the all of the info to begin with.

    I have noticed some web-sites use the Robots - follow link on their pages and am wondering what this actually does in relation to search engine placements and basically is it a good idea to have this on the index page? If it is a good idea, then can it go on other pages too?

    Any feedback is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

    Kind regards,

    You don't need to tell the robots to "follow". The only value I see to a robots tag is when you don't want it to follow and tell it not to.
