Category Descriptions if Category Pages are Noindexed?

[dealblogger]

I have noindexed my category pages. Do I still need to write a description for my categories? I am using the plugin SEO Content Control to see what I can spiff up but I don't want to waste my time. Thank you!

Nope, you don't have to.

The noindex tag tells spiders not to index a certain page. Why would you add a meta description tag for something that won't show up in search engines ever?

I don't add descriptions to any of my noindexed pages.

Thanks. Just wanted confirmation.
