Utility of NOOPD & NOYDIR Meta tags:

meta tags are very important we all know for the SEO purpose. It's an old concept and properly optimized Meta tags give a lot of benefit to the website that you are trying to optimize for your SERP ranking.

We are already familiar with the famous meta tags like Title (though it's not properly a Meta but we consider it as one of the meta tag), description and keyword. But my question is that how many of us are familiar with the other meta tags like NOOPD and NOYDIR?????? I think very few SEO professionals among us have used it. Ok, no problem met, i am here to discuss about it right now............

Suppose you are searching for a particular keyword or key phrases in the search box and when you find for a particular search term, you would probably follow some sites are listed in the SERP, it might be your site or not, no problem, whatsoever, but the amazing thing is that, when your site has been shown in the SERP, sometime you observe that instead of showing your proper description of the website you have already optimized, it shows the snippet of DMOZ or open directory details of your website if it has been listed out there. Understand? I am trying to say that your website description is replaced by your website's open directory listing details and this is obviously not the result you desire to watch. You are 100% reluctant to see it. The only way you can omit such kind of undesirable result is by instructing your robots not to visit your open directory listings by incorporating the following Meta tag:

meta name="robots" content="NOODP"

The same thing is for the yahoo directory. If you don't wish to see your websites' description is replaced in the search results with the listing details of your site in the yahoo directory, then you can instruct the robots not to crawl your yahoo directory listings totally by incorporating the following tag in the Meta section of your website:

meta name="robots" content="NOYDIR"

I think the above post would definately help you guys to understant the said Meta tags well. If you need to comment please drop me a comment in this regard, i am always eager to hear you.

Meta will be always inserted through angle brace, but for HTML error it's been omitted.
