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

[mattmdesign]

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?

[mattmdesign]

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!
