heheh well I'd love that 47 not found could be "lots" by the way, where are thos links coming from? What you have to bear in mind is that it's not the same if the 404 is caused by internal or external linking.
If internal, then you have to see which page is creating the 404 and fix it
If external you have to ask the webmaster for fixing the link and meanwhile have the 301 in place so you can save the value of those links..

Hey guys...wonder if I could bother you again on this...in webmaster tools, I am getting lots of "URL Errors"
47 Not Found
8 Soft 404
Most are dated recently, within last month or so....what am I doing wrong?

I would not no index any pages, this sounds like a job for a canonical tag.
if you do decide to noindex pages, make sure you noindex,follow, you never want links pointing to no nofolow pages as they pour away link juice into the ether. if you make sure they are follow the link juice will pour back thought the out links on the pages.
I crawled your site and did not find any links pointing to those urls.
I did find a lot of other problems, the worse being 100 broken links, and 160 unnecessary redirects.

Hey, I can't find them on your site.
Is it possible that those pages are part of an older version of your site? I can only see /category/ folder but google definitely indexed 600 of your urls containing such tag.
As Patrick said I really recommend you to noindex all archive, category and tag pages as they are just thin pages useful for user navigation but not for google.
After you have added the noindex tag you may ask google to remove them from index and you'll ahve your issues solved

Hi there
With tag pages you should noindex these. They serve no purpose in the SERPs, you only want your quality pages to be indexed.
That being said, I would also check your sitemap to make sure that these tag URLs aren't listed and prioritized. Try that and see if this clears the issue up. Here's a resource.
Hope this helps - good luck!

Can I set a canonical tag to an anchor link?
I have a client who is moving to a one page website design. So, content from the inner pages is being condensed in to sections on the 'home' page. There will be a navigation that anchor links to each relevant section. I am wondering if I should leave the old pages and use rel=canonical to point them to their relevant sections on the new 'home' page rather than 301 them. Thoughts?

Is it ok to use H1 tags in breadcrumbs?
A client has an e-commerce site and she doesn't want a page title on the products page. She has breadcrumbs though. Her website developer suggests putting the H1 on the breadcrumbs. So: products> Gifts > picture frame with h1 tags round the word "picture frame". Is this ok to do? Or is it a bad thing for SEO purposes? Thanks

Duplicate content issue with Wordpress tags?
Would Google really discount duplicate content created by Wordpress tags? I find it hard to believe considering tags are on and indexed by default and the vast majority of users would not know to deindex them . . .

Should I include tags in sitemap?
Hello All, I was wondering if you should include tags and categories in your sitemap. In the past on previous blogs I have always left tags and categories out. The reason for this is a good friend of mine who has been doing SEO for a long time and inhouse always told me that this would result in duplicate content. I thought that it would be a great idea to get some input from the SEOmoz community as this obviously has a big affect on your blog and the number of pages indexed. Any help would be great. Thanks, Luke Hutchinson.

Unique Title Tags OR Unique Content?
The content management system for my e-commerce site will not allow me to add both: unique content and unique title tags to each of my product category pages. Since I am forced to choose one or the other...which one is more important for rankings? And please dont answer "get a new CM system"...thats not an option. Thanks
