Umm, shouldn't the link to the company be set up as rel="nofollow"? Having an inbound link from paulgraham.com has got to boost your pagerank massively.

EDIT: oops, I missed the

  <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOODP">
tag, which will hopefully take care of it, although I'm not sure about its placement inside a HTML comment. Will that work?


NOODP != nofollow.

One source we use to generate snippets is the Open Directory Project. You can direct us not to use this as a source by adding a meta tag to your pages.

To prevent all search engines (that support the meta tag) from using this information for the page's description, use the following:

<meta name="robots" content="NOODP">


This information is correct, I'm not sure why you have been downvoted...
