Should tags get indexed?

    Most of my index pages are tags, and only 1 or two and articles.

    Shall i let this continue or shall i stop the tagging from getting indexed?

    Is it bad if tags are getting indexed?

    Are you talking about html tags in your source?

    Yes, you should "nofollow" all tag and category pages to avoid duplicate content on your blog.

    Tags are not important as pages with content.

    Tags are good in that they do make more "doorway" pages within the search engines

    Ya,you can nofollow all your tag,but it is a good thing to get search engines indexed more pages on your site.And i think it is a good thing for visitors.

    this is so true. you can always promote your important pages if you want more visitors to that pages. While this tags will bring even more visitors.
