I did a lot of Googling, but I did not seem to find something on the topic. According to this thread this question needs to be asked here.

I'm using a WordPress installation with a theme that renders the navigation as links. It also renders tags and categories as links. When I'm doing a Google search with "site:", I see that the navigation/overview pages are shown first (pages like date-pages, category-pages and tag-pages). Bing does a slightly better job, but still shows a lot of these overview pages.

How can I make overview-pages less relevant to search engines like Google and Bing?

Examples of Google and Bing:

I'd recommend allowing only one of the archive ("overview") types to be indexed. They're all facet views of the same body of information, so a degree of duplication will occur and, inevitably, some will be more meaningful and useful as a user entry-point than others.

I'd suggest allowing categories to be indexed, and noindex the tag, date, and author archives, etc. Categories make the most sense from a UX and SEO point of view (i.e., people are likely to be searching for "articles about C#").

You can do this very easily with Yoast's Wordpress SEO.
