On Robots.txt and META Robot

A lot had been said about the two. Both blocks the bots to crawl to your page so as not to be indexed. One popular reason for doing such is these pages are dupes of your website. This could happen if your website generate sessions IDs. You can tell that it's a session ID when it has a pretty long characters after the domain - yourdomain.com/ecnjnkjenffingjalkne2iu48u=?u2ijn - something like that.

Anyway, so much for session IDs, it came to my mind what are the difference of the two entities mentioned in the title. So I deed a little research and tried to comprehend. In my own understanding, when a bot finds your page, it will look for the robot.txt in your website then it will read what it tells it to do such as "hey,do not index this pages" and the bot will do as such. So technically, the bots would find your page, because if it doesn't it wont have a chance of reading your sign not to index it.

Ok, my page will not be indexed..Yipeee! But what if  some fan of your website, happened to save this page with the session ID which you have been hoping no to be indexed is accessed, it went directly to the page, didn't consult the robots.txt in this case, what should I do?

So here goes the META robot. Put this on the part of your pages so bots will not index it.
Sounds simple, huh?

So that's the main difference I found. I hope this gives you the idea what to use in your website. If you feel the information stated here is somewhat incorrect, feel free to leave your comments.

Juicy Couture Tracksuits

Ok..I admit..I dont know what juicy couture tracksuits are the first time I hear it. I was like "juicy what?"..

The Access Scheduler

It's pretty cool how most things can automated these days. I happen to stumble upon this
access scheduler online and it's pretty cool.

How Ironic..But I love it...

I am recently hooked to this song by the Script - Breakeven. The part that says "what am i suppose to do if the best part of me was always you?" Poor dude. I just notice that the Script's songs are about broken heart, moving on, and pain. But i love it. Reminds me of a person who gives me bittersweet memories.

The irony of things reminds me of regina's spektor - samson. You are my sweetest downfall. How ironic. But i love it..

Goes the same with the person who brings both extreme pain and extreme joy. How ironic again. But I love it
