Duplicated url and robots.txt

[fabioweb]

Hello!
I have thousand GWT urls duplicated with this scheme:

/byordering/results1-15/7.html
/byp.product_sku/dirDesc/results1-15/7.html
etc..

Could be a valid solution to block them in robots?

Disallow: /*byordering
Disallow: /*byp.product_sku

Thank you!

Should work. But did Google actually index them? You could find out by typing this into a Google search: allinurl:yoursitename byordering

Yes you can disallow the URLs, but make sure the correct URL does not become disallow and that is indexed by google.

Where was the robots.txt file located in the original download folder and where should it be in the file structure on the server?

these are common url variations for eccomerce sites.

I put a no-follow tag on my ordering links.

BUT! they also have a canonical tag , so i would not really worry

Thanks to all,
allinurl:yoursitename byproduct_name
allinurl:yoursitename byproduct_sku
etc... are all indexed!!

Where do you insert no-follow tag?

Thank you..
