Opt Out of DMOZ Descriptions at Google

Are you tired of seeing your Open Directory descriptions show up in the Google SERPs? Well now you have a choice. Google has finally added support for the NOODP tag. MSN was the first to recognize this tag as I wrote about in May. Now Google follows suit.

Simply add the following code in your meta data area which resides between the opening and closing head tags:

< META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOODP” >

This covers all robots but if simply want to exclude Google use < META NAME=”googlebot” CONTENT=”NOODP” > or if you just want to exclude MSN use < META NAME=”msnbot” CONTENT=”NOODP” >.
