I have a question:
If I put this code in my website:
<META NAME="robot" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow">
The google won’t search the specific page, right? not all website.
With NOINDEX, Google will not include any content from this page in its index (The page will be invisible to Google searches).
With NOFOLLOW, Google bot will not try and follow any link on this page, hence these pages that the current page links to will not be included in Google index, unless they can be reached (by Google bot) in other ways.
Beware that the snippet in the question uses the wrong name for this META tag.
ROBOTSneeds to be in its plural form, notROBOT. While upper/lower/mixed casing doesn’t matter, I do not believe the bots will try both names.BTW,
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">is equivalent to<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NONE">And, yes! The rest of the web site will be indexed by Google as normally, unless of other bot exclusions.
The official word on the way Google bots interpret the META tags can be found
on the Official Google WebMaster Central Blog
