Yahoo! Search Support for X-Robots-Tag Directive to Simplify Webmaster
Today we're announcing support for tags that give webmasters even more flexibility over which pages and documents are crawled and indexed by Yahoo! Search. Specifically, we're extending our support of page level exclusion tags -- NOINDEX, NOARCHIVE, NOSNIPPET, NOFOLLOW -- to provide additional control for archiving and summarization of ANY file type. Previously, these page level tags could only be expressed within html pages through the META directive (for e.g.
), but based on feedback from our webmasters, Yahoo! now enables these tags to be expressed through X-Robots-Tag directive in the http header, giving webmasters the flexibility to achieve exclusions on PDF, Word documents, PowerPoint, video, and other file types, including html files, and increasing their coverage through a simplified process. Additionally, webmasters no longer need access to html templates in order to express exclusions for html files. To take advantage of this feature, simply add the following page level tags to the X-Robots-Tag directive in the HTTP Header. Here are a few examples:- X-Robots-Tag: NOINDEX -- If you don't want to show the URL in the Yahoo! Search results.
Note: We'll still need to crawl the page to see and apply the tag, so if you don't wish to have the page crawled, use robots disallow on robots.txt.
- X-Robots-Tag: NOARCHIVE -- If you don't want to display cache link in the search results page.
- X-Robots-Tag: NOINDEX -- If you don't want to show the URL in the Yahoo! Search results.
- X-Robots-Tag: NOSNIPPET -- If you don't want to display summary in the search results page.
- X-Robots-Tag: NOFOLLOW -- If you don't want Yahoo! to crawl links in the page.
Along with this change, we'll be rolling out additional changes to our crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms over the next few days. We expect the update will be completed early next week, but you may see some changes in ranking as well as some shuffling of the pages in the index during this process.
We're at SES in Chicago and WebmasterWorld's PubCon in Las Vegas, participating in a few different panels this week. Please find us if you have any questions or suggestions or drop us your feedback here.

Congratulations Hastings, Nebraska -- Winner of our "Be a Better Plane
What do the birthplace of Kool-Aid and green living have in common? More than you think.
Back in April, we announced Yahoo!'s "Be a Better ____" challenge to encourage people to use Yahoo! tools to become better fanatics, advertisers, entrepreneurs, best friends, gardeners... however they want to become "better." Part of this program included Yahoo!'s "Be a Better Planet" Greenest City in America Challenge to see how communities across the country can take action against climate change and use Yahoo! tools to become better planetarians.
Today, the winner of the "Be a Better Planet" Greenest City in America Challenge was revealed and we want to give a shout out to the nation's green leader. The competition started with more than 350 cities across the country, and the winner is the home of Kool-Aid itself -- Hastings, Nebraska! In addition to their grand prize of $250,000 for city greening projects, Hastings and the top five finalist cities will receive a slew of other green prizes.
Hastings secured the top spot by rallying together a good portion of its residents to earn participation credits on Yahoo! Green through pledging to reduce carbon diets, Yahoo! Answers through answering green questions and Yahoo! oneSearch through conducting eco-friendly mobile searches. And now the city's mayor is tapping into the Answers community to solicit thoughts and advice for how to invest the $250,000 prize. If you have some great green ideas, don't hesitate to share.
Here's a bit more information on Hastings' contribution to the challenge and what they did to stand out. Congrats, Hastings.
Yahoo! Search Blog teamThe Santa SmackDown in Search: You Better Watch Out, You Better Not Cr
The holiday season is chock full of characters, stories and traditions - all of which see their fair share of search activity. In fact, we hear there's a bit of competition among Santa's cast and crew for the top billing in search. To relieve a bit of pressure (December is a stressful time of year for these guys), Santa Claus returned to the frozen stage this month to oversee some one-on-one action in the Search Smackdown. He got out his list and set up some Yuletide matches in the Buzz Arena...and man, will the reindeer fur fly.
Based on this season's search data, we've got the Search odds right here, and a few highlights from their past matches. All we gotta say is, when Jack "The Cannibal" Frost comes nipping at your nose, you better not cry, you better watch out.
