It's about time

 

WHat is the meaning of "="Slurp" And "NOODP"

 

Slurp is the name of Yahoo's spider and NOODP means that they won't use your DMOZ title as your title in serps if you're listed in the DMOZ.

 

I do not know what took them so long to follow Google and MSN.

NOODP = Do not use Open Directory descriptions on search results snippets.

 

if i have listed in dmoz and in dmoz my title is "xyz" and in real my site title is "abc" then which title yahoo select?

 

Whichever one they feel like, but if you use NOODP, then they'll always use "abc".

 

Now, Yahoo! has mentioned they will also add the No Yahoo Directory directive as a follow up to the NOODP thing. Good one!
