    Hi,
    I wonder what's the difference between Follow and DoFollow inside Meta Robots.

    There are some areas I don't want to index, therefor using NoIndex, but I do want spiders to follow links,

    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW">

    or

    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, DOFOLLOW">

    ? :)

    as i know for blog
    if you set it do-follow then google and yahoo or other search Engine will focus on all links
    but if you set nofollow,search Engine will ingore them,
    my english is not so good,sorry.

    DOFOLLOW does not exist in the ROBOTS META tag.
    Possible values (follow related) are follow and nofollow.
    So you should use FOLLOW
