There are two very important issues in how you handle the Google bot as it crawls your website.
One is the Robots.txt file telling Google what to and what NOT to index on your site.
The second area is the "nofollow" attribute so your site is not sabotaged by people leaving comments.
These are advanced topics and are included only so you can direct or challenge your web developer to do a comprehensive and complete job.
