robots.txt deny access to specific URL parameters with pretty urls

Question

I have a website that uses pretty urls and need to block certain parameters from search using robots.txt.

my url structure is like: http://example.com/vcond/Used/make/mymake/features/myfeatures

How can i use robots.txt to block urls only when features is a parameter of the url. I had read that you can do something like this:

Disallow: *features

And this will block bots from any url that has features in it. Is this true? But i need urls like: http://example.com/vcond/Used/make/mymake To work!!

Thank

Answer 1

Disallow: /*/features

Should do the trick. See https://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_txt.

Also, see this thread: Robots.txt: Is this wildcard rule valid?
