The dots on a Guitars fretboard are reference points.They are always on the 3rd(G),5th(A),7th(B),10th(D) and 12th frets(E).From the 12th fret,you start over.

The fret "dots" are simply markers telling you which fret your finger is on.And also different from type to type of guitar.

THE FOURTH DOT IS ON THE 9TH(C#) FRET NOT THE 10TH.

They are called Inlays because after you cut out the holes where they fit in, you lay them in.
