I have site that is built in CF that I rebuild the pages in static html. So, on the server, we have 2 sets of identical pages with one url looking like: /products.cfm?CatID=38
And the other looking like:
/keyword.html
As a result I blocked the cold fusion pages in robots.txt like this:
Disallow:/*.cfm
Anyhow, Y! has gone and crawled these pages and I have a pretty good hunch that I have set off a dupe penalty of some sort as the site is absolutely buried in the serps.
Brett's validator shows that wildcards in the disallow field are nonstandard. If that is the case, how can I block the CF pages easily.
