The meta tags are in the header of a web page, that is, between the <head> tags. There are some webmasters out there that use the meta tag <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW"> on their links page or directory. This means that search engine robots will not index (NOINDEX) or follow (NOFOLLOW) the links on that page.
The use of <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW"> is most commonly seen during link exchanges where webmasters try to retain their PageRank by instructing search engine robots not to index or follow their links pages or links directory.
