Wordpress - redirecting tags

[soobumim]

I just ran a webmaster tool from Yoast SEO premium and notice I have a lot of problems with tags (restricted-robots-txt)

For example : http://www.soobumimphotography.com/tag/wedding-group-photo/

Do I have to redirect to http://www.soobumimphotography.com/wedding-group-photo/

Should I do this to each and every posts

Thank you

Hiya,

I know a lot of people have enjoyed the following for ease of use - http://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/

The point of the tag is when you "tag" a post it helps people & search engines find the content via its related content. e.g if people like photography they may want to find all posts related to that tag.

The problem is as follows: you have two posts both different but both with the tag photography for example you cant redirect that tag to both posts. so you could either not use the tag, leave the tag so it helps enforce the keywords etc.

Last option you rel=canonical to the post you want to rank the most.

Having said all of that the problem is restricted-robots-txt which means the crawlers may not even be getting to your tag posts which may be fine depending on what you want.

Hope some of that helps and hasn't confused you.

You should ask youself if its usefull of using tags in your website. A good menu-structure with clear categories will do better for visitors and most likely for search engines.

In case your tag pages already build some authority, you can redirect them to an relevant category. In my opinion at this moment it would be better to focus on visibility and structure of your website, than focus on redirecting you tag pages.

You do not have to redirect tags on earch and every post, you may try a redirection plugin for it: http://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/
