      Hi,

      I have changed my tags to noindex,nofollow with Yoast. But still, seomoz software showing me warnings and errors for those pages.

      Also did the same for archive pages example.com/page-2/ and facing the same problems.

      I need to clear as much errors as I can in the software so I can see the real remaining errors in the website.

      Help will be highly appreciated.

      Thanks.

        What are the details of the warnings and errors being shown?

        I think the advice would normally be to use the follow, no index Meta Robots for tags pages.

        For archive pages use rel=canonical instead of Meta robots.

          Wouldn't it be better if you rel prev next paginated content : http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html

          The page can have warning and errors , the meta tag of noindex : keeps it out of the search result index and nofollow: tells the bots not to follow the links on the page

            If you want to private message me to tell me which site, I can take a look at your campaign. I took a quick glance, but I couldn't tell which domain it was you were talking about.
