We have a very strange read count problem going on. I just noticed that all of a sudden traffic coming into the wrong version of a link isn't being counted in my read counts.
For example, this is the wrong version of the content and going here doesn't register a read count:
http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/comment/reply/6673
This is the right version of the content and going here does register a read count:

I don't understand why those /comment/reply URLs are getting indexed by the search engines or why they exist at all. Either way, any hit to a piece of content (including this kind) should still register a read count in Drupal. We have the Boost module installed for improved caching, but it wasn't working until yesterday when we fix some permission errors. I don't know if this is related.
Thoughts on how to fix this situation?

Should I add /comment/reply/ to my robots.txt?
Should I add /comment/reply/ to my robots.txt file to prevent Google from indexing it? We do have traffic going to /comment/reply/ URLs and I don't know why the read counts don't register these hits (that's a flaw).
If we prevent Google from indexing those kinds of URLs (which would fix the read count issue related to this), I don't know if that traffic would be sent to the correct place (with the correct read count registering) or if we'd lose that /comment/reply traffic.
Thoughts?
