PHP Cloaking and Robots.txt question

i have a php page that grabs an id from a query string and directs to the appropriate link.

for example link.php?id=page1

If i block the link.php from being indexed inside my robots.txt file will this effectively stop those links from passing juice to the affiliate site?

Thanks.

 

That is probably the best approach as the bots will ignore links.php altogether!

Although a general header redirect should pass much juice anyway.

Hope this helps

 

thanks. Im just confused as to wether links.php is the same as links.php?id=2 to robots

 

Dont block the page links.php from being indexed, just put the no follow tag in the link.

 

but the links.php is just a redirect, it has no content on it, why would I want this indexed?

thanks.

 

This robots.txt will block links.php and links.php?id=2 :

User-agent: *
Disallow: /links.php
