Hello
Recently my forum member profile pages
/member.php?action=profile&uid=12345
are started showing as soft 404 errors in Google Webmaster Central tools. In browser the url is displaying correctly, though there is limited information in the pages (99% of the users leaves the fields blank).
Any suggestions to get rid of the problem ? because in the past I saw considerable drop in rankings when the soft 404 increasing the count. Blocking the access to the member.php in robots.txt will do any good ?
I am looking forward for your guidance
Regards
Biju
