Comment on WordPress SEO Tutorial by Erik.

WordPress SEO Dave, was wondering whether to use the hide tags on archives pages feature. I get the feeling from what you’ve written above and elsewhere that it may be useful if you want to downplay the importance of those tag pages.

I likely have too many tag pages to begin with (something like 90) and I’d rather focus link benefit on certain other pages I’ve linked to in my header menu and footer.

I was wondering if there are any other effects to be aware of besides eliminating link benefit going to these tag pages from the archives pages. For example if having these tags visible is important for spreading link benefit throughout the site. Thanks for any thoughts you might have.
