should I disallow this..

Disallow: /*goto=
Disallow: /*mode=
Disallow: /*&pp=
Disallow: /*postcount=
Disallow: /*daysprune=
Disallow: /*&sort=

Does that block the robot from all the link or just part of the link? And why exactly it is useful to put that?

I need an answer please.

That code helps search engines ( specifically google) avoid indexing duplicate content on the vBulletin forum. Also, restricting them from showpost.php and /archive/ does reduce duplicate content and strengthens the validity of your indexed pages by essentially only indexing whole threads in your forum content. Otherwise, the calls that use those codes are generally considered "duplicate content" or not relevant for the search engines to index.

Thanks. I appreciate it.
