:-) I know Google looks for the robots.txt file and thought the meta
name="robots" might get me by, but it appears that the robots.txt
file over-rides the <meta name="robots" > tag. I mistakenly left a
robots.txt file on a website with the following setting:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
And then looking at Google's robots.txt, I thought I'd put the
following line in:
Allow: *
When I validated the site's robots.txt, the validator indicated a
failure in validation where the Allow keyword didn't mean anything.

Neat page. Thanks once again. Time to get some sleep.
