To No Follow, or to Not No Follow?

[moon-boots]

So one of the big issues facing my website is that Moz seems to be picking up all of the ''Search'' and ''Tag'' pages, which is causing duplicate content. I cannot see any use for Google to index these pages, so is it better to create a No-Follow rule specific to Search and Tag?

Hi there,

I think you might be referring to "noindex" as opposed to "nofollow"? "Nofollow" is used to tell search engines not to follow the links on that page.If you don't see any use of these pages in search results and have duplicate content, consider adding "noindex" tags to these pages.

Just echoing Dmytro I would noindex, also this can help resolve duplicate issues as often the "Tag" and Search pages can create duplicates or pages the spiders have trouble with. If you are using Wordpress Yoast has a nice feature to help automatically care for this task.
