So, for example, it would look like this?:
Disallow:?condition=
Disallow: ?cat=
Thanks. I didn't want to use rel="canonical" because there are thousands of variations of these parameters, and it would be time consuming, to say the least.
Hi guys:
What is the best way to keep Google from crawling certain urls with parameters? I used the setting in Webmaster Tools, but that doesn't seem to be helping at all. Can I use robots.txt or some other method? Thanks!

6/3/2009 I have been going back and forth with SEOmoz’s Danny Dover for the past couple weeks regarding a crawling error occurring within the site I am currently doing SEO for. He has been a tremendous help to me, and believes others may be having the same issues as I. So…low and behold, I’m going to discuss it here in hopes of finding others just like me and some further expertise on how to handle the situation.

While this issue is of incredible importance, my main focus here is total online reputation management and not doing SEO to remove the negative content in SERP’s.
