*/? */index.*? is a must in robots.txt

I see /?widgetid=45 indexed

Hi,

I see that xyz.com/?widgetid=45 indexed by Google. I think I should add /? to stop it

There can be other folders, so I have to add */? .. this takes care of /index.html?widgetid=45 but not /index.php?widgetid=45 so

here is the final solution for all such issues

Disallow: */?
Disallow: */index?

Thanks,

I think Disallow: *? will have be better I guess. Is there any disadvantage in using this?

Google recommends this:

To block access to all URLs that include a question mark (?), you could use the following entry:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /*?
