What do I have to write in the “value field” of robots in the meta tags form ?

You can use a robots Tag for each page The Web Robots Pages

or you could use a robots.txt file

Thanks D,

But which robots are important and which robots should be disallowed to improve the Google SEO ?

I dont think that you want to disallow any Robots if SEO is your concern.

My understanding is that the Robots file is to stop indexing of your site/pages.

True, although you can also point to the sitemap from the robots.txt file.

The robots file is really handy when you are developing a website but it’s not ready to go live yet, as it should keep the page(s) from being indexed.
