Answer 2

They do different things:

• By using a robots.txt, you can disallow crawling of your site.

• By using a meta-robots element, you can disallow indexing of your site.

If you want one, you can’t have the other.

So you have to decide:

• Googlebot should never visit your URLs, but it might index your URLs (learning about them from different sources): use robots.txt.
• Googlebot should never index your URLs, but it might visit them: use meta-robots.
