Ajax Crawling | Blocked URLs Spike

Hello,

I'm concerned that WMT is reporting a large spike in blocked URLs - now reporting more blocked URLs  than good URLs.

Our product recommendations get generated via an Ajax call and these autogenerated, unique, URLs are rendered in the /recommendations/ folder which sits in the root of our site: http://www.zando.co.za/recommendations/

I can't see how I can prevent Google from calling the Ajax - I can only assume that's what's happening.This is what the code typically looks like:

If the blocked urls are all the /recommendation/?c=catalog... pages, then looks like google is reading following the url in your ajax code, since the return is not a full page, then probably google discards them.

Have you tried to disallow the /recommandation/ folder in your robot.txt?

Also, why do you use ajax to call related products? To speed up the page load?
