site:www.example.com inurl:mostview
new urls are appearing, no doubt they are blocked by robots
when i was removing these urls google was showing result like this
Results 1 - 100 of 12000 from
but when i clicked on 10 page i was not able to find furthure pages or urls means i removed only 100 urls that time.
and when i checked them in google using my domain only none of these pages are showing
site:www.example.com
IS there anyway to get rid of these undesireable urls forever.
i cant added them at same time bcoz these are extra strings added at the ended of url
e.g
www.example.com/post_id=1mostviewed
*mostviewed* is extra string
and will google effect my ranking for removing too many urls no doubt all are undesireable urls
Thanks tedster for ur help

It happens all the time with the site: operator. The early numbers say "about" and they are often WAY wrong for what you can actually get a report about. See this thread [webmasterworld.com] for a discussion.
There is no way to get beyond 1,000 anyway - and often you can't even get close.

Then I would not have much concern. Just watch your server logs to see if Google is sending any traffic directly to those excluded urls - they probably are not. They may just be showing in Webmaster Tools for your information. As long as they are excluded from public search results, that's what matters. Google still "knows about them." As they must!
Are you watching your server logs? If googlebot is still requesting those urls, then it sounds like something may be wrong in your robots.txt file. WebmasterTools includes some utilities for you to check your file.
so should i wait for robots to do all and should i worry if dynamic urls as showing in google as url only.
Thanks tedster u really helped me alot and im sorry for taking ur precious time.

That's a sign that your robots.txt rule is being honored, but there are inbound links pointing to those urls somewhere...or possibly those urls are listed in a sitemap. but the url-only shows that the urls are no longer being spidered.
I'd eliminate those inbound links. Or, if those links are important for your visitors, then make sure they all have a rel="nofollow" attribute.
Then after a couple weeks if your rankings do not begin to go back in the direction of wherever they used to be, look for other problems with your site.
I use [Adsnese] on pages that are disallowed to Googlebot (but not mediabot) and it works fine.
