I noticed something odd in my robots.txt

SladeK · 12-09-2009, 09:58 PM

My robots files reads as follows : noodp,noydir Revisit-after: Distribution: Refresh: Last-modified:

Are the noodp, noydir commands going to screw up anything in terms of my site being visited by search engine spiders?

The NOODP and NOYDIR are directives to the search engines to show the contents of your meta description instead of what it has found in the Yahoo or DMOZ directories.
