Duplicate Content Errror
-
I am getting a duplicate content error for urls for the "tags" or categories pages for my blog.
These are some the URLs that SEOmoz is saying are errors, or duplicate pages.
http://sacmarketingagency.com/blog/?Tag=Facebook
http://sacmarketingagency.com/blog/?Tag=content+marketing
http://sacmarketingagency.com/blog/?Tag=inbound+marketing
As you can see, they are just the pages that are aggregating certain blog post based on how we tagged them with the appropriate category.
Is this really a problem for our SEO, if so any suggestions on how to fix this?

In general, you should either have the tag OR categories OR archives page indexed, the others noindexed. Having all 3 creates duplicate content issues (usually they have the same post content snippets in different order/page #s).
If you choose not to noindex them, you should mod_rewrite those URLs to looks like.com sacma.com/blog/tag/inbound-marketing/. And the /blog/ page should have a canonical set to itself to avoid dupe content.
