Outstanding news, Tim Mayer from Yahoo! has told us via WebmasterWorld that Yahoo! is working on a No Yahoo Directory Tag, to compliment their recent support of NOODP Tag for Yahoo! Search.

Tim said;

Yes we are working on it. Will let you know when it is ready. What do you think is the right approach a different tag or should the NOODP tag apply to both YDIR and ODP?

I personally thing they should use a different tag for YDIR, gives us more control. But I think Danny Sullivan disagrees and thinks it would be easier just to use one META Tag for all.

Add your two cents to this decision at WebmasterWorld.

Update: Yahoo! has now added support for the NOYDIR tag, more details here.
