WordPress generates strange links

  • In my Webmaster tools I often see strange 404 errors. For example – “
    tag/nvidia/contact-me/” or “tag/official/feed/” or “tag/guide/feed/www.twitter.com” – they don’t even make sense.

  • Use robots.txt file to disallow this links.

    eg.

    User-agent: *
Allow: /
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Disallow: /tag/
