      Hey guys,

      Okay I ran into moz analytics - I have I have 199 Issues, priority issues are showing 38 Duplicate page content.  I began looking into the URL's and from what I have noticed from all the urls are showing me a common theme.

      The urls are pointing to my blog pages - my blog is using wordpress. What iv noticed is the urls all have "Tag" in it

      Here are 3 examples that I have found.  All url's take me to a blank page:

      Does anyone know what the solution is to fixing this? I read the article for duplicate content covering 301 redirects and Rel=Canonical tags - I'm wondering if this would need to be considered in this case? However I find it confusing that these pages for to a blank page.

            Hi Thomas,

            Wow thanks so much for your help! You rock! Just a question, how do I go about removing that page?  I tried to find it but couldn't get anywhere near it?  Unless im definitely missing something completely here

            Cheers

              Thanks Thomas for your clear instructions, this definately helped alot!

              A question - with regards to the **Taxonomies **I checked all that you referred to, however I seem to have an extra one for ad groups?

              Under XML sitemaps - I see tags and categories under this section do should I un-check this area also?
