As you may know, google uses DMOZ's data for the descriptions of the sites in their index. This doesn't rank you worst or better, but it may affect the traffic(CTR) that you get from the queries you are in, as the description of DMOZ may not be the best for your site.


As mentioned in the google sitemaps Visit through proxy blog, now it is possible to 'say' to google not to use the DMOZ description, and grab the one that can find in your site.

This can be done by adding the following tag in your page :

Code:
<meta name="robots" content="noodp">

No problem, I have the same idea, I think its a kind of old fashioned community with some members who are thinking they are god or something...

I totally agree too, but most of the search engines give some extra ranking to all the listed sites....
