>I deliberately opted out of snippets

Appreciate your datapoint. Also btw, when I "view source" the HTML of tld-list.com, I notice it has "nosnippet" inside a comment:

    <!--
    <meta name="googlebot" content="nosnippet">
    -->
Does google crawler parse and obey "nosnippet" embedded in HTML comments?



No I don't think so. Thanks for pointing that out.

IIRC, I eventually removed nosnippet because it caused google to not display microdata in SERP (see the "$25.99 to $99.80" in the above screenshot) that were desirable for my traffic. I instead replaced nosnippet with:

``` <meta name="robots" content="noarchive"> ```

And this seemed to have the same effect as nosnippet, but with the added benefit of my microdata still being displayed in SERP.
