Still finding holes.

I run site:huffslist.com on Google and keep getting pages that should not be there. Today, I believe I discovered where the hole is.

On the page where I list what I call subcategories (keywords and phrases), which are under the main professional fields (i.e., accounting, sales and marketing, pet services), I discovered that I was not blocking spiders from following the embedded links to my master query control page. So I was getting pages indexed like this: huffslist.com/CF_LISTING_QUERIES.cfm?searchby=subcategory&scatid=217.

These indexed pages make no sense and really add lots of duplicate pages indexed. I have now added rel="nofollow" to all of these links. Hopefully this will plug up this hole.
