I don't see "/?agent_camp=" in any of those urls!
If they're actual examples why not try: ------------------------- Disallow: *agent_add* -------------------------

So - if "a_aid" only appears in your affiliate urls (and appears in ALL your affiliate urls) you could use: ----------------- Disallow: *a_aid* ----------------- to exclude them. If other urls also use that and there's no "unique" identifier for your affiliate urls, you can't exclude it by using robots.txt You could use a "noindex" or "nofollow" robots metatag for them (assuming you can edit the tag on a page-by-page basis). |

You could also make sure that all links to it use the "NOFOLLOW" attribute.
Google Webmaster Tools offers the option to de-index URLs that you don't want indexed. If there are no links pointing to them and you tell Google you don't want them in its index they will not be in there for long! You don't have an automated sitemap generator that is adding them to an XML sitemap do you?

noindex,nofollow works. If you were using server side includes for all of the info in the head tag, you could add this directive once, and it would apply to many pages.

With reference from those URLs, is it possible to block only /product.html?a_aid=80c69612&a_bid=95308704%20 /product.html?a_aid=6bee5108&a_bid=95308704 using these conditions? "exclude all URLs with a_aid and a_bid=95308704" Thanks, Morph
