New Meta Tag

Published in General on July 14th, 2006 8:11 am by Nicholas Roussos


Google just introduced a new meta tag.

<META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOODP”>

This tag tells search engines not to use the Open Directory Project description of your site as a snippet shown in search results. Why? Because for the most part ODP sucks way bad. Ironically, Google is the only search engine I’ve seen do this.

Did I mention that I hate the ODP? The project needs to be scrapped and started over… With NO human editors.

    Regarding ODP stinking, can you do a post about that? I’m curious to know why you feel that way. BTW, I happen to agree.

    Sure, I’ll try to get an ODP post up this week.
