Robots.txt syntax - remove pages via Google webmaster tools
I recently changed some pages on my site and submitted a request to remove the old URLs
My pages changed from
details.php?categoryid=23
to details.php?catid = 23
23 is just an example. I have a few other catids besides 23
After reading the Google requirements for removing a URL it looks like I need to place the URLs I wanted deleted in the robots.txt file.
Now my question. Would it be correct to insert something like
Disallow: details.php?categoryid
in the robots.txt file in order to make sure these pages are not recrawled? And so I can get them removed via Google's webmaster removal tools?
The pages with ?categoryid=number still loads but the data is not correct, therefore I would like to have them removed from Google.
I hope I asked my question clearly.
