Yahoo Directory - Any have any trouble with this?

About 3 years ago I paid the $299 to get into the Yahoo directory. In Yahoo search the result for the my home page is the yahoo directory listing which was great until I stopped paying the $299 1 year ago.

Now rankings are dropping and I can't get Yahoo to index my actual site and stop looking at my directory listing.

any thoughts on this?

Hi,

there's a meta tag you can use on your homepage to tell yahoo to use your description rather than the Yahoo directory one;

Cheers,

Similarly, if you don't want your DMOZ title and description to appear in preference to your page title and meta description (as can happen in Google search results), then use:

Code:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOODP">
