SEOmoz bot and "noindex"

sjr4x4

As a recent newbie to SEOmoz, I've been implementing some suggestions and doing a general tidy up.

I removed URL's from our robots txt, and rolled out instead the noindex meta tag to pages we don't want indexed.

But surprised to see issues that are now flagged from the last crawl by the moz bot from pages that have this meta tag?

Does the SEOmoz bot not ignore this tag? Just want to make sure I've implemented it correctly, so the google bot does ignore it.

Meta tag syntax is and is placed below the title tag.

Apparently someone flagged something similar up in April:

Are you having the same problem?

aha! thanks, yep exactly the issue/

Seen the response from Aaron Wheeler

"so perhaps we should also exclude those noindex pages from issue calculation as well. That's in the next couple of months, though."

Think I'll drop them an email to remind them At least it's not an issue then with our site.
