    If you don't like the fact that Google or other search engines are using the OPD/DMOZ description of a site, I have seen a new tag that has not been proven yet, but is worth a try:

    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOODP">
<META NAME="msnbot" CONTENT="NOODP">
<META NAME="googlebot" CONTENT="NOODP">

    I guess it was proven by Matt Cutts... :rolleyes:

    Put it on one of my websites, on which Google shows ODP title. Will notify you if it works...

    I hadn't seen Cutts' information on this - thanks for the confirmation.

    Also, I'd be interested in knowing if you see results; thanks!
