My Tag Cloud Holding Back My SE Rankings?

    Newbie question, but I've finally decided to just give in. Couldn't really find anything on the web...

    On my blog, http://www.fka200.com, I have a tag cloud. If you click it, it'll take you to a page with articles that have the tags included. It has the whole article on there... I'm thinking this might cause problems with duplicate content.

    Any ideas? Thanks for any help!

    I saw a thread on this a few days ago, so I set up my all-in-one-seo to [Follow, NoIndex] the pages in the /tag/* folders. So Google still crawls them, but all the PR juice seems to be going to the actual articles. Before I changed this, my homepage and /tag/* pages ended up with the best SERPs and my users weren't finding what they needed. In just a few days, my actual articles are getting the SERP boost.

    Hope it helps! Seems to be helping me

    Awesome! Didn't even realize that was an option (just checked the "tag" check box in All-In-One SEO).


    Rep added. Well deserved!
