Yahoo! Search Index Update With ‘NOYDIR’ Tag
Yahoo! have announced a global search update which will begin to re-index the web and result in immediate ranking changes amongst search results. The search update is taking place so Yahoo! can implement a new meta tag, allowing webmasters to decide how their page is shown in search results.
The ‘NOYDIR’ meta tag is the latest to be supported by Yahoo! and will be used to inform the Yahoo! search spider not to show Yahoo! directory titles and descriptions in search results. If your website is included in the Yahoo! directory and you would prefer to have your natural page title and description shown, simply add the following to your HTML code:
meta name=”ROBOTS” content=”NOYDIR”
This may affect your yahoo results in a positive direction if used properly. In cases of more key words that you have in your title tag and description meta Id call it Internet Marketing presentation of your yahoo listing.
This change will not affect the dir.yahoo.com and only the www.yahoo.com results.
