Yahoo Directory description problem

Hi There

I have found an article about stopping yahoo from using the directory description http://searchengineland.com/070228-140603.php

I have never tryed this before it seems i have to input the following tags

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOYDIR">
<META NAME="Slurp" CONTENT="NOYDIR">

I am a bit weary to do this just in case it has some knock on effect with any other search engines am i right to be weary or should it be fine ?
has anyone tryed it before ?

Woc

I haven't personally, but others have and it does what it says on the tin.

yes it is.Yahoo dir is a rare dir for sites but i use Dmoz directory "no title" Google gets your site title from dmoz and if you want to disable it use "noodp" it your meta.
