Adds Supports For NOODP Tag To Opt Out Of ODP Titles
Singing for joy! Google has now added support for the NOODP tag that MSN
initiated on May 22nd of this year. Yes, Danny asked for this back in June,
and now Google has granted our wish. If you have one of those pesky titles
pulled from the ODP (dmoz.org) directory, don’t fret it, just add the NOODP
tag. How do you do it? Just add <META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOODP”> to your
page source. If you want to just exclude MSN use <META NAME=”msnbot” CONTENT=”NOODP”>
if you just want to exclude Google use <META NAME=”googlebot” CONTENT=”NOODP”>….

Links At The Search Engines
Rand has an excellent post on how to get your hands dirty by manually checking
your links at the various search engines. He reviews Google’s link command and
how bad it is. He also reviews MSN’s link command and explains how you can add
modifiers to the link or linkdomain commands (i.e. exclude site A from the
command). Rand then reviews the Yahoo link command, and explains that although

&b=999 to the end of the URL manually. Like MSN,…
