Should i disable the indexing of tags on my wordpress site at times the original page is not indexed but the tags seems to be ranking well. I am confused
its popular already, i think the site is 5 years old now. Still the last few google updates/server changes reduced its rankings
Depends on how many tags you got. If you got too many tags, then it may compete with your pages where you'd actually want to be listed on SERP
Google stated that the nofollow tag has no more importance, but it makes the link pointing to the site more natural, so yes it is still indicated to add the nofollow tag.
Hey buddy, that's a good question. With the recent Google updates, it's worth reading up on how these changes affect your site. We all have to move with the times. I agree with shahar's comment above about no-follow is no longer effecting anything. The seo game has changed
You should moderate all comments posted imo. On my sites, very few comments are actually reasonable and deserves to be posted..
Wow... I didn't know that the nofollow tag has no more importance. So I assuming that it doesn't matter where your backlinks come from as long as it's natural backlink to your website? I'm going to look into the new changes.
I've you've got a lot of tags that have only one post in them, that could cause duplicate content issues so it might make sense to de-index them. I would love to see some sort of wordpress plugin that would put a noindex only on tag archives with less than X posts so that you don't have to de-index all of them, but I am not aware of any such plugin yet. You can however de-index ALL tag pages using the Yoast SEO plugin.
