      I ran a crawl error and found that I have many pages with "tag"

      i.e. http://www.soobumimphotography.com/tag/70-200-2-8-is/

      What's the best way to deal with this problems?

      Is it worth to visit all of them and fix?  Delete?

      Could you give me some suggestions?

        I would suggest installing WordPress SEO by Yoast. It allows you to choose which pages you want to index. I usually index Categories and block Tags, but you can try one or the other.

          The wordpress SEO by yoast has a feature to no index/ no follow (or both) tag pages.

          Install the plugin and just mark those pages with a no index tag.

          Ill add a screen capture but doing some search you will find lots of advanced tutorials to go deep with the plugin. Is worth to spend some time with because its really good!

          Good luck!

            Yoast plugin is already installed.

            So should I go to each of the pages and no follow?

              Hi again! Nope. You need to browse to the titles and metas section, then taxonomies. You will find the option there, and mark no index follow. Volia!!

                Looks like there's two tags section

                Should I noindex both of them?

                Now sure why they have two tags and two categories.

                Thanks again

                  You likely have two because of the theme you're using. Noindex both tag sections.

                    Thank you Streamline and Roque for answering!

                    In most standard cases, noindexing tags is what I advise. You can refer to two documents;

                      Hi,
                         I had the same issue.  After setting up SEO MOZ, fixing about 400 problems, on the next crawl (after installing wordpress and transfering all our old news items across for our blog)  we had about 1,000 problems with duplicate pages (most blog pages were duplicated 50 times!!!.

                      I've installed Yoast, had a quick go through (looks good), I think I've got it sorted 🙂

                      I'll check again after the next crawl and see if it works and report back.

                      It's interesting how this question is also asked in the Wordpress forums with no responses or silly comments about SEOMOZ being rubbish and not understanding how Wordpress works (or what not).
