Users can reply to a comment by clicking on a "reply" link. It just takes the user to a reply box. There will be a reply for every comment any user posts.
For example: if a user clicks on "reply" on a comment with id=443
, user will be taken to a URL
https://example.com/action=reply&replyto=443&onsuccess=https://example.com/news=1
It just has a reply box and it has no other content. onsuccess
is the URL it returns to after reply.
Should I block Google from going to these URLs?
Will rel="nofollow"
on these reply links help? Or should I make an entry in robots.txt? Is there any alternative method?
I have no issues in search engines indexing these links. But there will be thousands of such links with just a reply box.
