    Yeah I noticed they do as well, that's why I added them to my robots.txt file and it took a couple of weeks before they stopped doing that.

    Yes, it's a good idea to have also robots.txt file with these pages excluded.

    Looks like the crawled -print pages ranks higher the mayority of the time, which means most of my yahoo visitors lands here. nofollow does not work, so I guess the only solution is to take away that functionality?

    It would be great if one of you could attach a robots.txt file that specifically deals with congsoft`s problem and the rest of the files that shouldn`t be crawled, please?
