I don't see anything in his comments about supplemental affecting the authority (or PageRank) of the site as a whole.

I also use a plugin-sitemap generator. Do you think it's a good idea to index tag pages? Or should they rather be excluded? I’m curious of the noindex-results. I also use a plugin-sitemap generator.

“Also, the formula makes it sound like every page on the site has the same ‘juice’/PR… That just isn’t true.”

noindex, nofollow doesn’t always get the job done (for all SEs), as covered here… http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/handling-noindex-meta-tags/

so i opt to use robots.txt exclusion instead of “noindex, nofollow”

what do you think of that?

and

will a noindex, nofollow page still (or sometimes) contribute to the set of keywords that are related/used on my site?
