      Hello Guys,

      I have a short issue, that i still can't figure it out from my previous Q&A. Why is google doing this ( ranking for a tag and not for title tag ) - do I have some misplaced setting in yoast seo?

      Please find the attachment.

      Also there is any way that someone could help me edit something in yoast?

      Thanks.

        Hi Matei,

        I'm not sure if this will answer your question but if you go to Titles & Metas >>>Taxonomies tab, you can set tags as no index/no follow.  This should stop Google from crawling your tag over meta title.  You might also want to check if you might've mistakenly check the box for meta title or if it's force rewrite by Yoast.

        Hope this helps.

          Hello Tommy. I have sett up your indication. Tags - Meta Robots - noindex, follow. Is this a better alternative then going for www.mysite.com"/>  ?

            Hi Matei,

            I believe both ways work as both tell Google that the tags should not be crawled/index.  I personally would go with making tags noindex/follow since it is a simple check box in Yoast where as canonical tags need to be placed in all your tag setting.

              Still tag page indexed and no google picture. Is this going to update at the next index or '???
