On this though, I disagree slightly. I think that category pages are often very enticing to visitors as they contain summaries of all articles on one topic.I usually ensure that summaries appear on category pages (instead of the full post) and then remove the no-index tag on them.I have sites in fact where the category pages are the most visited.Just my 2 cents, Richard Vladimir,

Is it then still a good idea to follow and index the tags? Wordpress will create 1000 pages that will have duplicate content for tags and only 20 for the categories. Hi Vladimir
