Hello,
Very simple, I want Google to follow but not index pages 2,3,4 of my sites blog and categories pages.
currently,
Google indexes
domain.com/blog/page2 domain.com/blog/page3 etc
domain.com/category/page2 domain.com/category/page3
I just want domain.com/blog domain.com/category indexed.
Whats the fix?

Simple fix:
Add The Meta Robots Tag with attributes
no índex, follow
to The pages that you dont want indexed

follow is the default behavior so noindex is all you need.

I prefer to use the complete directive and as a best practice use The Meta Robots tag on all pages in full
Index, follow on all pages As default
no index, no follow or no index, follow on pages I dont want indexed

why would you not want your old posts in a particular category to be indexed ?

@ maurice
Because it comes up as duplicate title tags. In Google webmaster tools I try my best to follow html suggestions. This was one suggestion.
@anyone reading, would this work if I put this in the header script in your opinion:
<?php if ( is_paged() ) { ?>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />
<?php } ?>
I don't want to have to keep updating the robots tag with page 16, then page 17.
Thanks!

ah you cant you make the pages have diferent titles add page 1/n to the end?
I am just testing this solution to make page titles more destinct for a large uk site that has a directory eement to it.
