Add MORE Meta Tags in WordPress

The “Add-Meta-Tags WordPress Plugin” has been updated to version 1.2. The plugin is now a more streamlined version, with a couple of added features.

The MAIN new feature, in my opinion, is the ability to add any Meta Tag you need to your entire website. This means that, if you need to add any “robots” tags to your pages such as the “NOODP” or “NOYDIR” tags, you can.

The “NOODP” tag is helpful if you’ve found that the search engines are using your site description from the Open Directory, “DMOZ”, instead of the “desription” tag that you have defined on each of your web pages.

The “NOYDIR” tag is similar in that it will prevent Yahoo from using the description from the Yahoo Directory.

These tags are helpful and very relevant to this plugin, considering you’re probably using it to ADD the “description” and “keywords” Meta Tags to your site.

So, to add these tags to your blog, go to the “Options” screen in the admin section, and select the “Meta Tags” option page. In the text box in the “Site-wide META tags” section, add the following line:

<meta name="robots" content="noodp, noydir" />

After updating the options, everything should be working fine…
