  I’d like to desindex those pages or add a ‘noindex, follow’ balise in the head section because it duplicates my content.
  And I’d also like to remove the /comments/feed/ urls from the head section.
  Thanks for your help! :)

  That’s not possible on WordPressdotcom sites.

  Thanks for your reply. So no way to avoid duplicate contents? :(

  Hi there,

  Tag and author pages are RSS feeds, not static pages. Search engines will index the actual posts appearing on those feeds, and each post appears only once in your site’s sitemap, so there is no duplication of content here. You’ll only have duplicate content if you copy a post and publish a new post with the same content, either on your site or on a different site.
