  &lt;p&gt;Crawlers often index the entire content of a page, which can reduce the prevalence of the main material in queries.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Yahoo!'s idea emerged from discussions at last month's &lt;a href="http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/"&gt;Search Engine Strategies&lt;/a&gt; conference in New York, when engineers heard calls from designers to block out non-essential portions of pages in search results.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The tag should be written as a HTML class - for example, &amp;lt;span class="robots-nocontent"&amp;gt;. This text would be visible to humans but rendered invisible in search queries&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;"We're rolling out an index update tonight for this change,"&lt;/em&gt; wrote Yahoo! Search's&#160;Priyank Garg yesterday. &lt;em&gt;"As usual, you'll see some changes in ranking along with shuffling of the pages that are included in the index."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;Yahoo! has introduced a new tag that lets site owners make their core content more visible in search results.&lt;/strong&gt;
  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp/slurp-14.html"&gt;robots-nocontent tag&lt;/a&gt; allows webmasters to define areas of a page that are merely navigational elements or other secondary constructs that should be ignored by search spiders.&lt;/p&gt;
