Are tags in blogs worth anything in SEO value these days and can i remove duplicate title tags?

[SEM_at_Lees]

I have around 12 duplicate tags in the blog and the general consensus is to noindex./nofollow the tag pages which is not an awful way to do things.

Should I just arrange my tags better or remove them all together?

I believe it's the fact that the same page can be accessed by 3 different url's because of the tags it's under and that in the tag urls, only teaser descriptions of the posts are being display, not the full post, but the seomoz tools still consider it as duplicated content.

Hi Stephen,

As a user usability, dont remove the TAGs.
As you've said, the recommended action in these cases is to apply the nofollow/nonindex.

Personally, i'd not remove the tags. It will be just fine with the nofollow/nonindex meta tags.

Hope it helps.
GR.

Thank you for the answer.

I am looking for the best way to do this manually- what would you advise?
