This was a bit of a surprise on the yahoo search blog. Its using the word tag incorrectly. It seems the search department is adding a new microformat-like function that will allow us to tell spiders what parts of the page are insignificant to SEO. http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000444.html
This sounds like a useful idea. It may even help us target phone devices and other alternative presentations. I watched a demo the other day of a voice activated browser for any phone. They were able to use algorithms to decide what parts of a web page were worth reading to a listener. This microformat spells it out pretty quickly. Whats the traction for something like this and no-follow to get integrated into the microformat platform? Ted Drake Yahoo! Answers Coming soon... European Finance - Paris Member of the Yahoo!
