Yahoo has added the support for ‘NOYDIR’ Meta tag that will complement the ‘NOODP’ Meta tag, which Yahoo already supports. The ‘NOODP’ Meta tag is basically a way for webmasters to tell the search engines not to use titles and description from Open Directory Project (ODP or DMoz) in the search results. With the ‘NOODP’ Meta tag Yahoo has also added support for ‘NOYDIR’. The ‘NOYDIR’ Meta Tag tells the Yahoo Search Engine not to use the Titles and Description from the Yahoo Directory incase the site is listed there. The syntax for the Yahoo’s ‘NOYDIR’ Meta tag is:
META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOYDIR"or
META NAME="Slurp" CONTENT="NOYDIR"
For pages with this tag, Yahoo will not use Yahoo! Directory titles or descriptions for your URL in search results. This will help webmasters in participating in the Yahoo! Directory Submit program, while maintaining control over URL titles and descriptions in search results.
Yahoo is re-indexing content on the web to launch this change, and the changes will first take effect on Yahoo! US, Yahoo! Japan and Yahoo! Korea. (Other regions will roll-out in the future.) That means there will be changes in the rankings after this update.
