As the title says... How do I make the tag pages in my blog noindex? They are all getting indexed and I fear duplicate content pentaly since they all display the posts from the blog... Thanks!
Is it blogger or wordpress (or something else)? Each one has a different procedure and you will basically be changing the template files. If you are using wordpress, you are a bit lucky, as you can find a plugin to automate this task.
Install Google XML Sitemaps plugin, then on the settings screen there you can choose exactly which of your pages get indexed. Deselect tags pages and you're set!
Open up your robots.txt file within your root and add in this: User-agent: * Disallow: /tag/ Hope this helps, -drmike
The Robots Meta plugin will take care of this easily. However, from my experience (started at about Wordpress 2.7), you need to install an old version and then update to the newest version (unless they've fixed this issue). I can PM you an old version of the plugin if you use this option but can't get the plugin to work properly. Alternately, I believe the AllInOne SEO Pack might do this, too.
An additional plugin isn't the way to go with such a simple fix. When you add in a plugin, the software has to run through that plugin each and every time a page on your site is loaded. That's just a waste.
There are lots of plug ins available for that kind of work. but the thing is what kind of blog u r running. i mean whether it is blogspot or wordpress or anything else..
Look up a few posts. The poster states that he or she is using Wordpress. Again a plugin is a waste. A robots.txt fix is the way to go, especially since the webserver is going to have to read the file anyway.
