Wordpress tag problem

[TauriU]

Hei,

Just start using seomoz pro and it's freaking awesome:) I have one question about Crawl Diagnostics and hope you guys can help me out.

I just launch my website and i get two errors what greep me out a bit. I don't know how to handle them correctly. I have two duplicate content errors what are caused by Wordpress tag's.

If i make more blog posts then i get even more duplicate content issues. how should i handle this "tag" situation?

Respectfully,

TauriU

Don't worry. Though you didn't specify what error you got, I'm assuming it is a duplicate content error.

All you got to do is set noindex meta tags for tags on WP. Additionally also set unique meta descriptions for each tag or the tool will keep showing the duplicate content error.

If you got a different error, let me know.

Tags in Wordpress carry no SEO weight.  Going forward, I would ignore them completely.

If you erase your tag pages now, it may cause some broken links from your sitemap.  I attached a video of Matt Cutts explaining keyword meta tags.

You have more information about SEO for Wordpress in the official webpage: http://codex.wordpress.org/Search_Engine_Optimization_for_WordPress

I added some of the recommendations about the robots.txt to avoid bots going where you know that is going to get a duplicate content or non meta description. Here http://www.askapache.com/seo/updated-robotstxt-for-wordpress.html

Very helpful, thank you!

Follow-up question for you: what are the lettered directories in your example?  Are those standard directories that Wordpress adds for some reason?... maybe for alphabetized menu of your posts?

Disallow: /cgi-bin
Disallow: /wp-admin
Disallow: /wp-includes
Disallow: /wp-content
Disallow: /tag
Disallow: /author
Disallow: /wget/
Disallow: /httpd/
Disallow: /i/
Disallow: /f/
Disallow: /t/
Disallow: /c/
Disallow: /j/
