The Yahoo directory meta tag is now here, with the Yahoo! Search blog confirming that a NOYDIR meta tag can now be used.
“So, as promised, we’re providing support for ‘NOYDIR’ which will recognize the following Meta tags on your pages:
<META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOYDIR”>
or
<META NAME=”Slurp” CONTENT=”NOYDIR”>
For pages with this tag, we will not use Yahoo! Directory titles or abstracts for your URL in web search results.”
