Inside Blogger settings under custom robots header tags, you will have the following options that I will describe here.

1. All: If you have selected this option for a page into your Blogger, it means there is no restrictions to robots for crawling and indexing to that page. This is also a default value for all pages and posts inside your Blogger, if you don't have enabled this option.
2. Noindex: This is what we want to use custom header tags, but a mistake to choose this option can vanish your blog from the search engines. If you choose "noindex" to any page in your Blogger then then the robots can notcrawl and index that page. It means you would not see this page into search
   engines.
3. Nofollow: Let you have a post that contains internal and external links. By default, Google crawler will follow each links inside your posts and consider for rankings. If you don't wish to follow your link on a particular page or post,simply add nofollow robot meta tag on that page or choose this option in your Blogger.
4. None: It means you are selecting both "noindex" and "nofollow".
5. noarchive: Choosing this option will remove "cached" link from the search.
6. nosnippet: It will remove the snippet (meta description) from the search result pages.
7. noodp: Selecting this option will remove the meta data (title or snippet) from open directory projects like DMOZ.
8. notranslate: It will tell to spiders not to offer translate into search engines pages.
9. noimageindex: If this option selected, your post will remain in the search results but the images on that page will not show up in the search. unavailable_after: You also have an option to noindex a page after a specific time.

Custom Robots.TXT

Robots.txt says search engines what content or what kind of articles to index and what not to. Generally the archive pages, search pages, date labeled pages will be no indexed to save the blog from getting hit by Google Panda. I have tried and experimented different versions of robots file for a blogger blog and found that the below code works the best. Just replace alltechbuzz.net with your blog url and it should work best.
