You can now use the robots meta plugin to verify with Google Webmaster Tools and Yahoo! SiteExplorer as well, a great suggestion by Roy, I fixed some bugs next to that, so I'd advise you to upgrade!
Note: make sure to deactivate and then activate the plugin. There's a function that's triggered on activation that needs to run for the plugin to work correctly.
Hi Joost,
First of all, I love your work, I think it’s amazing and a must have for all WP users!!
I only have one question (maybe a stupid question, I don’t know;)).
I just upgraded to v2.1 with the new Google and Yahoo options. But how do I use these??
Regards

Hi Vincent, it should give you two input fields on the robots meta page, in which you can add the content=" value of the verification tags both Google Webmaster Tools and Yahoo! Site Explorer give you. I'll create a full tutorial on how to do that in the coming days.
Okay great, thanks.
As usual ill be following your site very closely.
Hi Joost,
I was about to ask if you thought adding an option to "follow, noindex" any "/page/2/" etc. would be beneficial when I noticed that there was an option saying "Subpages of the homepage"
What IS that option for?
And I have it enabled, but I don't have the robots tag at the top...
Any thoughts?
Hi James,
well it should do just what you asked there ;)
Hey Joost,
Firstly, thanks for all the wonderful wordpress plugins! I truly enjoy them.
Robots Meta is my latest install and I was wondering if I should use both a robots.txt file as well as the robots meta tags? Or just one?
Appreciate your input!
Happy Holidays!
Lucas
@Lucas: You can use both together just fine :)
