hi Holis,
appreciate the effort but it wouldn’t let me in without joining. Can somebody just tell me if its important or not?
here is the text
This tag should have nothing to do with it. MSSmartTags was a highly controversial extension to Internet Explorer which Microsoft proposed a few years ago. The idea in short: when you visit a web page, IE would scan for certain words or phrases and highlight them distinctively (a bit like spelling and grammar errors are given a squiggly underline in MS Word), and link them to a network of sites– which most took to mean MSN advertisers.
The MSSmartTagsPreventParsing meta tag was the proposed mechanism whereby an author could block this behavior on his/her pages. As SmartTags were never implemented in IE 6, the meta is somewhat superfluous. But it should not have any impact on any search engines.
thanks Holis!
