    <META name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX,FOLLOW"> it is a default one. it let search engines index your website and as well as follow it.

    <META name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX"> on pages like contact us, archives etc.

    Hey that's great you use noindex for contact us page, well that will instruct search engines not to crawl your contact us page and will left unnoticed in search engines. How do you track your goal and compare conversion ratio.

    Honestly speaking, I never paid attention to this. But from research, it's important on some pages.

    By default, I have this on my site :
    <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />

    to let the search engine spiders crawl/visit and index the pages of my site

    On almost all pages, I use index,follow. Some say that's unnecessary, because it's the "default". Even so, it only takes me a few seconds to include it on each new page, and that way I'm already covered if ever a search engine changes and makes "index,follow" no longer the default.

    None. META is out dated
