Inspired by Joost de vaalk’s noodp plugin for wordpress and the recent Y! announcement, I decided to provide a NOYDIR plugin.

You can download it here. Unzip it, put it in your plugins folder, and activate it. It then adds the following line to the section of your theme:

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOYDIR">

For those who are wondering what this is for, you can check out the Y! searchblog.

<META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOYDIR”>
<META NAME=”Slurp” CONTENT=”NOYDIR”>

So there you have it. If you do not want them to use your directory title and description in their SERPs you can now opt out by inserting either of those tags.

If you really really liked this post you might even want to buy me a Stella Artois :D
