about robots.txt

[nlopes]

I have a robots.txt disallowing the file j.php.

But I have some links j.php?m=***

SEs are indexing that files. Should I have to disallow each ?m=**??

If yes, maybe it's better to use a meta tag in that file?

I would suggest moving that page (and it's subpages) into a unique directory and disallowing the directory.

But it's just one file!

Why should I create a directory to have just a file??
Robots.txt should accept wildcards.........

my files are:
j.php?m=abcd
j.php?m=efg


Why adding just j.php to robots.txt doesn't stopp these to be indexed??

Putting <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"> on the page will sort it out.

Does all search engines support that meta tag?

If not all, the most important?

I think that just about all Search Engines to support that tag. Yes.
