In all these situations, a robots meta tag comes in extremely handy as it can be used to tell search engines not to index a specific page or not to crawl any link on a given page on your website. There are situations when you would not want search engines to crawl any link on a specific webpage. There are situations when you would want to prevent search engines from indexing a page (or a bunch of pages) on your website. If your website has lots of pages, it is not necessary that every page on the website has to be indexed by search engines.
