Tags or Categories: Which is best?

[IoanSaid]

I seem to have duplicate issues on my website due to tags and categories having the same title.

If I was to delete one of the two, which would be better to delete?

Thanks!

Can't you no index no follow the categories & tags or rel = canonical the duplicated pages? Tags & Categories are good for user navigation.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll have a look and see how that's done!

I'm using a wordpress blog

If you install the All in One SEO or Yoast SEO Wordpress plugin you can no index no follow the tags and categories within the settings.

there is a recent article by John Doherty here:

Right now there are set at:

| <a title="Click for Help!">Use noindex for Categories:</a> | |
| <a title="Click for Help!">Use noindex for Archives:</a> | |
| <a title="Click for Help!">Use noindex for Tag Archives:</a> | |

But SEOMoz still picks up stuff.
