No-index tags-Can they be used in internal linking?

[Rebeca1]

On my site http://villasdiani.com I am using yoast seo plugin and have

I am using tags to organize category with villas on self-catering, full board etc but I have them set no-index as I believe they would create only duplicate content for the categories. Is it still ok to use this tags for internal linking?

Example: I have a post in my blog which links to category Beach Villas(they are set to be indexed) and I would like to add option also for self-catering villas itself, which is a tag(set no-index)

I am not sure if I am getting this right.

Thank you very much,

Iris

Hi Iris

Yes, I recommend you do exactly that.

IMHO, tag links are useful for someone browsing your site to help them find categories of pages which suit what they are looking for. But tag links are generally not so good for search engines as they auto generate pages which you have no or limited SEO control over.
