Hi....
one question - does it matter if the info for robots is in <head>
as <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
or in standalone robots.txt file?

What is better?

I asked for your opinion, just asking is a little easy or not?

It is the same thing, don't worry Smiley

You may confuse a bot only if this meta is in a page that in your robots.txt is disallowed

robots.txt is the correct location as tags are defined by the version of HTML they are and so may be deprecated, where as the robots.txt is now a recognised standard by search engines Smiley however today most engines work with both.
Would you like to be an SEO, let me help with, The Tim Nash introduction to SEO alternatively for Social media optimisation take a look at the Venture Skills Blog
