I can just repeat myself: Set Crawl to yes and use rel canonical with website.com/?v3 pointing to website.com

RE: Does Google pass link juice a page receives if the URL parameter specifies content and has the Crawl setting in Webmaster Tools set to NO?

RE: Does Google pass link juice a page receives if the URL parameter specifies content and has the Crawl setting in Webmaster Tools set to NO?
I'm getting a bit lost with your explanation, maybe it would be easier if I saw the urls, but here"s a brief:
I would not use parameters at all. Cleen urls are best for seo, remove everything not needed. You definately don't need an url parameter to indicate that content is unique for 25%of traffic. (I got a little bit lost here: how can a content be unique for just part of your traffic. If it is found elsewhere on your pae it is not unique, if it is not found elswehere, it is unique) So anyway those url parameters do not indicate nothing to google, just stuff your url structure with useles info (for google) so why use them?
I am already using a link rel=canonical statement. I don't want to add this to the robots.txt file as that would prevent the juice from being passed.
I totally don't get this one. You can't add canonical to robots.txt. This is not a robots.txt statement.
To sum up: If you do not want your parametered page to appear in the serps than as I said: Set Crawl to yes! and use rel canonical. This way page will no more apperar in serps, but will be available for readers and will pass link juice.

What do you men by url parameter specifies content?
If a page is not crawled it definately won't pass link juice. Set Crawl to yes and use rel canonical: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm9onOGTgeM

RE: Linking Sister-Sites - Diapers.com Example
It is legit as carries user benefit. I'm pretty sure that is forwards link benfits as well.
I think this is not real SEO itself, but rather cross-marketing or brandring issue, however owner of all brands is the same I suppose.

RE: Trailing Slash: Lost in Redirection?
I think this is evertything you can do. Do 301 or implement canonicals from the non slash versions of the urls to your preferred slash versions. There will be only a handful I think who will type in your urls manually rather them copying and pasting them when they want to link to it. You can do nothing with the rest: as you said: ask them to correct or bear that 10%loss of link juice.
