Do you know the uses of NOODP and NOYDIR Meta Tags in the Source Code of a site?
NOODP & NOYDIR – What Is It & Why Its Important?
NOODP is a tiny, convenient tag which prevents Google from importing the directory listing as the description for organic search results.
NOODP means No Open Directory Project and it is a directive which tells the search engine crawlers not to use metadata from the Open Directory Project for titles or snippets displayed in search results for the particular page.
The benefit of using "NOODP" tag is that you can avoid search engines from choosing random descriptions.
NOYDIR: It's also work same as the NOODP Tags. NOYDIR is another tag introduced by Yahoo! It functions much like NOODP and works by excluding titles and abstracts from the Yahoo!
for example: <meta name = “googlebot” content = “NOODP”>
If you have a problem with MSN, you can use:
<meta name = “msnbot” content = “NOODP”>
