    You have to be careful as not all robots treats robots.txt the same. To exclude Googlebot from indexing it you can use RegEx:

    User-agent: Googlebot
    Disallow: /*?id=*

    I think that'll work!

    You should block it via php code markup if your website is php coded.
    or
    IN robots.txt
    Disallow: /*?id=*

    I guess that will prevent all the spiders to index them. If you wanna stop gogle only, then its the solution.
