Here`s a suggestion to prevent google & co from indexing ton`s of pages with no real content by robots.txt for the path-info theme:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /forum/index.php/r/reply_to/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/u/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/r/quote/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/mv/msg/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/m/
Disallow: /forum/index.php?
Disallow: /forum/index.php/sel/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/r/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/i/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/mn/tree/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/mv/tree/
Disallow: /forum/pdf.php
Disallow: /forum/index.php/pv/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/sp/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/rm/
Disallow: /forum/index.php/a/


I also use this in my htdig-config file in this way:
exclude_urls:           /cgi-bin/ .cgi /forum/index.php/r/reply_to/ /forum/index.php/u/ /forum/index.php/r/quote/ /forum/index.php/mv/msg/ /forum/index.php/m/ /forum/index.php? /forum/index.php/sel/ /forum/index.php/r/ /forum/index.php/i/ /forum/index.php/mn/tree/ /forum/index.php/mv/tree/ /forum/pdf.php /forum/index.php/pv/ /forum/index.php/sp/ /forum/index.php/rm/ /forum/index.php/a/


Would be great to hear if i missed something or should remove some of these Directories from the disallow/exclusion list.

With htdig this works pretty well preventing double-listings, for google i updated my robots.txt today due to pretty much load on my server caused by a big crawl ...

Any Experiences/Suggestions welcome.

Peace,
Alex

With this file bots will ONLY spider the messages, it is what I want. (no profile, no pdf messages, etc. only real and uniques message)
