Yesterday we told you that you can
[use a `meta` tag to ask us not to use descriptions](https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2006/07/more-control-over-page-snippets)
of your site from the
[Open Directory Project](https://www.dmoz.org/)
(ODP) when we generate snippets. Some of you have asked if this `meta` tag prevents us from using
the title from the ODP as well. Yes, this `meta` tag does apply to both the title and description
from the ODP.


Also, as noted in our
[webmaster help center](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/title-link), you can combine parameters
in the `meta` tag. So, for instance, you could use the following `meta` tag:

```
<meta="robots" content="noodp, noarchive">
```
