I have tag-pages in WP that make no sense. Help please.

I checked out one of my site using site:mysite.com and found that i have tag-pages indexed, that i did not create.

I talk about jewelry on my sites and suddenly i have tag pages like:

misiu
sark
themoodiesweede

to name a few (there are 43 pages that make no sense).

I would really appreciate some help here.

Thanks

    I know this is a shameless bump, but since i do not ask for help very often, i am doing it anyway.

    Somebody must have some idea, how those tags got there.

    tag pages in WordPress are automatically created. If you are using a plugin like all-in-one-seo, you can configure it to stop tag pages being indexed.

      i appreciate your response, but why would "all in one seo" create tag pages with words never used in my blog?

    All-in-one just simplifies the ability to not index your tag pages.

    As for creating the tags, you are probably using some sort of auto-tag plugin (or an auto-blog software) that generates tags for you.

    While those plugins seem convenient, you are now seeing the results and may consider only adding relevant tags manually to each post.

      thanks for the response, but if only it where that easy.
      i do not use auto tagging, or auto blogging plugins. what's more, only my highest ranking site has this problem. all my other sites are ok.

      i manually removed all the garbage tags and set all in one to noindex tag pages.

      still don't know, how these tags appeared.
