ODP/YDIR- Meta Tag:
ODP means DMOZ open directory project. When a robot of Google search engine don’t get description tag from a site then they take help of DMOZ. Taking from DMOZ they give site’s description. If you think that to stay away Google from that type of work, then you can give this tag,

Yahoo also does this work like Google. But Yahoo uses their own open directory project (YDIR). So in case of Yahoo you can give this code.
