Search Engine Blocked by robots.txt for Dynamic URLs
-
Today, I was checking crawl diagnostics for my website. I found warning for search engine blocked by robots.txt
I have added following syntax to robots.txt file for all dynamic URLs.
Disallow: /*?osCsid
Disallow: /*?q=
Disallow: /*?dir=
Disallow: /*?p=
Disallow: /*?limit=
Disallow: /*review-form
Dynamic URLs are as follow.
http://www.vistastores.com/bar-stools?dir=desc&order=position
http://www.vistastores.com/bathroom-lighting?p=2
and many more...
So, Why should it shows me warning for this? Does it really matter or any other solution for these kind of dynamic URLs.

It's a warning, not an error. It means "hey, make sure that you really want this stuff blocked" not "you made a mistake". And yes, you really do want those annoying osCsid parameters blocked!
