Can I prevent MSN frm using my (bad) DMOZ description?

This is causing other pages to appear above my home page!

Around a month ago, MSN decided to drop any text from my home page and instead chose my (bad) DMOZ description. Since then, my home page is never returned before sub pages in the SERPs.

For example, if I search for 'london escort agency' on MSN, my site is #1, but the page listed is a sub domain (/london-escorts.html) - not my home page. This page is listed correctly with a description taken from the site.

Obviously I'd like to ensure that my home page is placed first - with an appropriate description. Is there any way I can rectify this?

This meta tag will get MSN and Google to use your onpage description (or snippets) instead of the ODP description:

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

If you want it just for MSN:

<meta name="msnbot" content="noodp">
