I saw a message that even with robots.txt file google store the links that appears in a indexed page but with no description.

I would like to artificially add some parameters to links that I would not like that google store even if google will not index these links.

Do you think that 4 parameters , something like , http://mysite.com/page.php?p1=1&p2=2&p3=3&p4=4 is enough to discourage google to even store these links?

Do you know if goggle see many long links in page and a few short links google can desist to follows all links of the page and instead to follow the desired links google follows no links at all?

I’m optimizing my phpBB board , I decided to use mod_rewrite modifying the version of this mod,
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=68551

but instead of generic rewrite rule to transform all phpBB to html I decided to change only the pages that displays forum index and forum topics , for people that use phpbb,

I transformed

The link http://www.mysite.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1

is modified to

http://www.mysite.com/phpBB/viewt-1.htm

The link http://www.mysite.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1&start=10

is modified to

http://www.mysite.com/phpBB/viewt-1-10.htm

I made similar modification to viewforum.php page and did not change index.php page.

The remaining links I'm artificially adding some parameters to discourage goggle to follow these links.

I use mode rewrite only to anonymous users , when user login I disable mod_rewrite links.

With 3 or 4 parameters Google might still add the URL to the index (spidered or not). I think adding a PHPSESSIONID is an easier way to get this result.
