This is really confusing to me. When our site is listed directly in the Yahoo serps, the title and description are coming from the OPD, despite a noodp. But when I view the site with Yahoo Site Explore, the title and description from our site is actually used. How is Yahoo using two sets of data? How do I get the main SERPs to recognize my noodp?

URI in profile.

You have some strange character in your "noodp" meta tag.

Thanks Dinkar. I'm not seeing any odd characters, so I ran it through the W3 validator and found that and all kinds of interesting things. Got the noodp fixed.

Cleaned up my noodp three months ago, but Yahoo is still using the ODP. So frustrating. Any more suggestions?

Several people are reporting that Yahoo seems to have ignored that tag for at least the last few weeks.

Thanks g1smd. It's nice to know that it likely isn't my fault...this time.
