I have pages that are showing up as having too many links, yet they are noindexed.

I've got several pages that have "too many on page links" and the pages mentioned have already been noindexed. Do these pages need to be no followed too? Here's one of the pages: http://digisavvy.com/site-map/.

There's several pages like this, most of which are category or tag archives, which I've noindexed... Do I need to nofollow these, too?

If you don't want it to be discovered by the search engines cause it has too many links and such, block it with the robots.txt. It will still obviously be visible to the users on the site, but the search engines won't crawl it and possibly penalize it.

I do understand that I can at a robots.txt rule. I just want to make sure my understanding was correct. If a page is noindexed, it should be ignored by search engines, right?

Not always, use the robots.txt to be 100% sure.
