googlebot, vbulletin, and robots.txt

normally I don't even bother with robots.txt- I figure I can spare some bandwidth for some extra traffic once it gets into the search engines...

but googlebot is really hammering my vbulletin- I'd like them to be able to view threads (and threads in the archive) fine, but the completely useless things that they keep on viewing I'd like to exclude. namely, the edit post, quote post, report a post to a moderator, etc.

does anyone know of a robots.txt for vbulletin 2 that'll just keep them looking at the actual threads, and not the useless pages they can't do anything with?

 

here's what i have...

User-agent: *
Disallow: /arcade.php

was there any particular reason you gave up on it?

vprp: thanks, I might try that

 

More content is better serps and PR, so why bother?
