Two reasons.
- As long as search engines are concerned, on most blogs category pages will carry irrelevant information since category names are likely to be too general to rank for (like my categories WordPress, SEO etc.)
- Category pages are source of duplicate content
As I already stated before, tags are the real deal for any blog.
I also decided to call upon my plugin skills again and came up with a plugin that will do all this for you automatically.
As an added bonus I included nofollow_the_author_posts_link function, which you can use to replace your the_author_posts_link in theme templates, adding nofollow to author pages.
Download WP-Nofollow-Categories.

HI there!
Surely several tags linked to the same post is also duplicate content?

I know that Google is altering the way it controls nofollowed links although Google themselves created it. I know that recently Matt Cuts stated that you can no longer sculpt pagerank using the nofollow tag. If an internal link is nofollowed, the pagerank will be lost and not distributed to the other inner page links.
