Are robots.txt wildcards still valid? If so, what is the proper syntax for setting this up?
Great job. I just wanted to add this from Google Webmasters http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/06/improving-on-robots-exclusion-protocol.html and this from Google Developers https://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_txt

Do UTM URL parameters hurt SEO backlink value?
Google knows the difference and that is why they wouldn't give it the same value. They are looking for other websites to link to your site on their own. No organic link is going to have tracking variables appended to it, meaning that the backlink was "self-generated". As such, your link value is discounted (especially press release links).
