Hello David,
A lot of ads in Google have this url http://www.example.com/jump.php?id=1234
So visitor aren't going to my site but are directly redirect to the affiliate company.
Doesn't this affect commissions? Because visitors aren't going to my site.
Is here a solution for?
Greetings Jan Roel
Hello,
I allready activate it directly. But i have lot of links in google with jump.php.
Blocking jump.php isn't also blocking www.example.com/product/....
Hello Jan,
Once a robots.txt exclusion has been added search engines are normally quite quick to remove matching links from their index. Regarding your /product/ pages, as long as you don't have any robots.txt rules beginning /product/ these would not be affected.
Cheers,
David.

Hello Jan,
You should make sure that jump.php is excluded via your robots.txt file so that it doesn't become inadvertently indexed.
There is a recommended robots.txt for a Price Tapestry installation included in the distribution as robots.txt.dist but I don't include this as robots.txt by default since many users prefer to have search results pages - particularly for the indexes (category / brand) - available as they provide great keyword variety so if you are otherwise happy with your search engine coverage, a minimum recommended robots.txt would be:
User-Agent: *Disallow: /jump.php
Cheers,
David.
