Duplicate content because of tag
-
Dear Expert,
I use several tags in my single post (www.rumahapp.com), for example when i post something about new game release i would use these tags: Publisher name, game rating and game genre. The problem is seomoz crawl my page and said that i have duplicate content between
http://www.rumahapp.com/tag/com2us/ and http://www.rumahapp.com/tag/homerun-battle-2
how do i solve this? is this mean that i shouldn't use tag in my post? thank you

Tagging posts provides a good user experience, allowing them to scan through a number of related posts. It does create a number of duplicate content issues though.
To solve this on my own wordpress websites, I've added a noindex tag to each of the "archive pages", which includes tags, categories, authors, and dates. This effectively cuts out the duplicate content areas and I haven't seen any unusual fluctuations in search traffic.
