louie nofollow doesn't mean it won't be indexed. you need "no-index" for that.

Paul if it doesn't follow then it can be indexed can it?

nofollow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you just deny the bot from the directory it won't even try to look at the links ...

Yeap if Google finds a link somewhere else to it then it'll get indexed

Here's 2 good links
Preventing content from appearing in Google search results
Block or remove pages using meta tags

Default Block google from spidering a Calander

Follow on from my original post Would it be possible for me to block part of a url in robots.txt
Google has indexed 12 identical pages generated by my calendar with the same content "No events found for this date."
Heres is a full url google is spidering
/gallery.php?picture_id=9&user_eventsDate=2008-01-13
this is what I want to remove &user_eventsDate= this is the calendar link.
I would like to remove the blasted Calendar but it was part of the specs for the site.
thanks again.

Default Disallow: /*&user_eventsDate=/

I have picked this up from the google web masters forum
Disallow: /*&user_eventsDate=/
&user_eventsDate=2008-01-13 is the useless segment of the url which google is generating from the calendar
So It is spidering pages which don't exist like /news_desk_detail.php?news_id=20&user_eventsDate=20 08-01-13
which when typed in to the browser shows the content for /news_desk_detail.php?news_id=20
the Problem with this is it is also spidering
/news_desk_detail.php?news_id=20 &user_eventsDate=2008-01-13
/news_desk_detail.php?news_id=20 &user_eventsDate=2008-01-14
/news_desk_detail.php?news_id=20 &user_eventsDate=2008-01-15
and so on
up to four links deep for each dynamic link it follows , which could expand very quickly to thousands of useless pages.
Will the above disallow work ?
