Hi All,

My site is listed in yahoo and google directory and when I search for some keywords, it shows the title and meta what it gets from the yahoo and google directory, not from the website.

Is there any way to get the title and meta from my web page?

maybe the result show the link where you submit your site.... try to use this site:www.yoursite.com to view the title and description of your site in SE search result..

Hi,

If Google are using the ODP listings rather than yours, it could be that they view yours as spammy or somehow inappropriate and you might want to have a think about that.

If you want to force them to use your title you can use a meta tag;
<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOODP">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOYDIR">

Cheers,
Paz.

Hi Paz,

Thanks for the info. As you have mentioned that Google may be viewing as spammy, so will it be better to put the code? And will this work for yahoo also?

Hi,

Well the title and description may not be spammy... maybe they're too long, have too many commas, or aren't written in plain English or something else, but you should maybe look at it as a warning. Google don't automatically use the ODP listing for example and if they do you should maybe have another look at your titles and descriptions.

Having said that, I had a site last year (pickfords UK) that was listed with the DMOZ data. When we put up the NOODP meta tag, rankings weren't affected either way. If you think about it, it makes sense because website owners can't necessarily control off-site factors, and it wouldn't make sense to score them using their titles in the DMOZ website.

Cheers,
Paz.
