Hello Everyone,
There are many URLs on the webmaster's account that are in the status section in the coverrage section:Excluded /this number : 10.1K. Should tags always be indexed or not?

Tags should not be indexed reason is you will get duplicate content issue

I have a news website, my question is should we indexed post tags? Generally, it's a good idea to "noindex" tag, author type pages - since they are duplicate content and may dilute the performance of your real pages. But if you find certain tag or author pages bring valid traffic, you can make an exception for them.

Concluding with our original question – yes, you should look to noindex, or deoptimize, your category and archive pages if they are causing direct conflicts with rankings.

Tags of your blogposts should not be indexed, we can put noindex for them.

It depends on the reuirement, but i usually prefer to index tags as it help to drive more impression to the website. For website it helps to navigate and finding the right content. Thats why indexing a tag is right choice.
