Does google or MSN ever use the DMOZ title when the url in the search results is not the page that is listed in the directory?

In other words, you should only have to put this on the pages that are DMOZ listed, right?

I think you are right about this, but some sites like mine attract volunteer DMOZ listings (yes it does happen) so we can never be sure which pages need it. As my site is template drivien anyways, it is easier for me to simply place the tag on all pages than it is to select which pages to display it on.

I recently had a new site of mine added to DMOZ and I never submitted it. Best I could figure is someone was trying to apply as an editor for a section :\

Volunteer listings aren't that uncommon. I don't keep track of DMOZ because I have so many, but at yahoo I've gotten around 35 so far.

I've got a site on DMOZ and find it rather annoying that Google uses thir description whereas Msn seems to start on meta description and then display a but of the first page content.

I find it very easy to get blogs added to DMOZ, but not core sites.

You can stop this with a simple meta tag.
